科学家研制一种蚂蚁机器人模拟真实蚂蚁的运动路径,证实蚂蚁在道路选择方面浪费很少的精力,当它们抵达三岔路口时能够做出准确的心智判断,从几何学角度选择最佳行进路径。美国新泽西理工学院生物学家西蒙·卡尼尔说:“它们的网络路径外形能够缓解蚂蚁的认知负荷,它们不需要纠结于路径选择,蚂蚁的网络路径外形将确保它们的移动更加有效。”这项发现意味着理解蚂蚁的生物学特征,将有 Scientists developed an ant robot to simulate the real ants’ path of motion, proving that ants wasted little effort on road selection, made an accurate mental judgment as they reached the fork in the road, and chose the best path of travel from a geometrical point of view. Simon Garnier, a biologist at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in the United States, said: “Their network path profile mitigates the cognitive load of ants, and they do not need to be entangled in path selection, and the ant’s network path profile will make their movements more efficient.” " This discovery means understanding the biological characteristics of ants, there will be
