摘要
Swarm model, as one of the representative emergent computation models, needs further study based on theory of complex system, such as considering the impact of external factors on the model's emergent behavior. A new model, called the Swarm model for Obstacle Avoidance, Swarm-OA model in short, is proposed. In order to make the Swarm group avoid single obstacle of fixed position, two new parameters, including the obstacle avoidance item and the radius of obstacle influential scope, are added in Swarm-OA model. Then, the impact of the obstacle on Swarm-OA's emergent behavior is analyzed, as well as the model's ability to avoid obstacle. Experiments show that, the proposed model is effective to avoid a fixed position obstacle with different influential scope. Besides its ability to avoid obstacle, the change degree of the model behaviors are all different in different emergent forms. Furthermore, the effects of obstacle scope on the group's emergent behavior are big. © 2014 Binary Information Press.
