“…Engineering Human Stigmergy 421 A variety of solutions have been proposed for the implementation of the artificial pheromones, including automatic deployment of chemicals in the environment [16], storing special data structures in RFID tags [19], exchanging short range messages between agents [15], or by creating dedicated software entities [10]. All the implementations of stigmergic systems with artificial agents are based on a set of concepts and principles that have been formulated in [13].…”

Abstract:Discovered in the context of a research about insects, stigmergy -the indirect coordination mechanism that allows ant colonies to achieve intelligent behavior -has been extensively studied with the aim to create artificial, ant-like agents. Although stigmergic behavior has been also identified in human collectivities, there are relatively few reports about technological solutions that facilitate the emergence of such interactions between people. This paper proposes the concept of virtual pheromones, defined as engrams created by the agents not in the environment, but in a representation thereof -a map, and outlines several use cases, wherein pheromones embedded in maps are the key element for inducing stigmergic behavior in human multi-agent systems. Without proposing a theoretic generalization, this paper aims to emphasize the broad range of possible technological applications of human stigmergy, and, maybe, to mark a new starting point for a more in-depth study of this topic.

“…Embedded implementation Using signals transmitted from robot to robot, Payton et al (2001) have implemented "virtual" pheromones that are sustained on board. Simple beacons and directional Ir sensors are mounted on the robots (figure 2a), with the virtual pheromones attached to the robots rather than laid down in the environment.…”
