Project description:1. Research Aim and OverviewThis research aims to take inspiration from bee colonies to develop a hive mind [1] network. The proposed network architecture makes use of a queen node, a virtual entity with a large computational resource (e.g. a cloud server) that all robots on the network can connect to. In a similar vein to the queen bee, the queen node can process data for the entire hive mind whilst the individual robots are only able to process data at a local level. The queen node may also be used for communicating information to the network, sharing data between robots, monitoring the status of robots, and controlling the behaviour of the network as a whole. The queen bee model will be combined with swarm robotics concepts wherebyteams of robots operate in a distributed manner.This project aims to answer 3 key research questions, these have been written with the intention of addressing approximately one per year of the PhD:1. How can we build a multi-robot team with an integrated queen node and what useful functions should the queen node complete?2. Can this model be used to facilitate the communication between two or more multi-robot teams, each with their own queen node, to complete a shared task?3. How can we demonstrate the queen node model's effectiveness on real world applications to improve swarm performance outside of the laboratory?

项目描述：1。研究目的和概述这项研究旨在从蜜蜂殖民地汲取灵感，以开发蜂巢的思想[1]网络。提出的网络体系结构使用了一个女王节点，这是一个具有大量计算资源（例如云服务器）的虚拟实体，网络上所有机器人都可以连接到。与女王蜜蜂相似，女王节点可以处理整个蜂巢思维的数据，而单个机器人只能在本地水平上处理数据。女王节点还可以用于将信息传达给网络，共享机器人之间的数据，监视机器人的状态并控制整个网络的行为。皇后蜜蜂模型将与群体机器人概念结合使用，该概念的机器人以分布式方式运作。此项目旨在回答3个关键的研究问题，这些问题的编写目的是解决大约每年的博士学位：1。我们如何使用集成的女王节点构建一个多机器人团队？女王节点应该完成哪些有用的功能？2。是否可以使用此模型来促进两个或多个多机器人团队之间的通信，每个团队都有自己的女王节点来完成共享任务？3。我们如何证明女王节点模型对现实世界应用的有效性，以提高实验室以外的群体性能？
