Ants don’t tend to get in trafficjams.
Another striking thing aboutants is that some of them just sitaround doing nothing. Whenants build a nest, some of themjust sit around, inert, lazy, seem-ingly useless.
The team created computermodels with simulated ants andfound that this system of selec-tive idleness enables the ants todig deep faster. In effect, the antshave solved the eternal problemof too many cooks in the kitchen.
Feinerman said researchershave noted that ants are sensitiveto success and failure. When anant tries to do something, such asobtain food or dig a tunnel, and issuccessful, she keeps doing itwith extraordinary vigor and en-durance. But when she fails, suchas getting stymied while trying toenter a tunnel, she will quit andbecome inert. He said the newresearch suggests that relativelysimple rules govern this behav-ior.
“There’s a positive feedbackbetween how successful an ant isand her tendency to repeat thetask,” he said.
Gravish, who builds robotsinspired by insects, said of ants:“They’re far more complicatedthan robots. I wish we could geteven close to the complexity ofants.”
主播您好,我关注了您的公众号,也看了这篇文章,我发现您上边有一张图片,图片里有一本书就是关于这篇文章的,我想请问一下可不可以给我分享一下这本书的名字呢?
remark: sit around的意思是闲坐,无所事事哦~
我和这蚂蚁很像,做什么事都会考虑到能不能成功,否则我就不做了
老师的声音很好听,精读也很棒~
小小的蚂蚁都有大大的世界。我们是不是应该要更爱地球一些。
很好啦
