  　View Summary

  The objective of this study is understanding of adaptive function to environmental change of social insects and construction of adaptive strategies that can control swarm robots based on the understanding. We obtained following results. (1) We analyze behaviors of ants by biological experiments and behaviors of multi-agent systems based on Boids model. We design a control law of swarm robots and carry out experimental validation of formation control of multi-UAVs. (2) The division of labor based on social communication of ants between two nests with large distance can be found in experimental observation. (3) Estimation function of global information based on local behaviors is analyzed. Based on the derived decentralized control strategies experimental demonstration using modular legged robots is carried out. (4) An agent dynamic model is constructed based on Bayesian and Inverse-Bayesian estimation methods.
