IR units. Also, the speed of the two robots is different, even after scaling it to the
respective robot size: The Jasmine robot is much faster than the I-SWARM robot.
In contrast to honeybees, both types of robots cannot sense temperature, but they
both can sense information projected onto the arena from atop: The I-SWARM
robot can be “fed” with simulated temperature values by an LCD projector that
projects vertically onto the robot arena. For the Jasmine robot, there exists a “light
sensory board,” which can be mounted on top of the robot. By using a simple light
source (a lamp), a light gradient can be constructed ...
