Adaptive task allocation for multi-UAV systems based on bacteria foraging behaviour

“…These properties enable natural systems to solve complex problems that are beyond the abilities of current computer systems [59,60,61]. The simple agents and rules of natural systems of many organisms have been simulated to govern task allocation (e.g., [17,52]), resource management (e.g., [62,63]), synchronisation (e.g., [64, 65]), and social differentiation (e.g., [66,67]). For many swarm organisms, the foraging process involves the aggregation of organisms into groups to search for sustenance by maximising the energy obtained per unit time spent foraging [68].…”
