Huygens y la robótica de enjambres
Abstract
Christiaan Huygens accidentally discovered, around 1660, the phenomenon of the synchronization of two man-made systems, this isolated discovery went unnoticed for several centuries. However, during the 1990s mathematical biology studied phenomena in nature related to the behavior of flocks, swarms, schools, colonies and herds, seeking to explain these phenomena, concepts of synchronization of systems were developed and Huygens' work was recognized by the community as the pioneer of synchronization. Years later with the rise of mobile robotics, the application of synchronization theories led to the development of swarm robotics as an approach to robotics that draws on the collective intelligence of natural systems and involves the use of multiple robots (called “agents” or “swarms”) that work cooperatively in a coordinated manner to perform complex tasks.
