Multi-robot cooperation using immune network with memory

In this paper, basic biological immune systems and their responses to external elements to maintain an organism´s health state are described. The relationship between immune systems and multi-robot systems are also discussed. Our proposed algorithm is based on immune network theories that have many similarities with the multi-robot systems domain. The paper describes a memory-based immune network that enhance a robot´s action-selection process and can obtain an overall a quick group response. The algorithm which is named as Immune Network T-cell-regulated-with Memory (INT-M) is applied to the dog and sheep scenario. Simulation experiments were conducted on the Player/Stage platform and experimental results are presented.
