Ant Following demonstration

It has been observed that the paths ants follow when bringing food back to the nest are near-minimal paths. Using this as an inspiration, Prof. D. Hristu was able to prove the convergence of a local pursuit algorithm to a minimum-length path. For the details please see his paper A demonstration of this algorithm has been developed. Eventually the video will be here. robots following robots
