Résumé : | We study collective decision-making in a swarm of robots. We consider the majority rule with differential latency: robots randomly form teams, make a decision following the majority rule, and then turn in a latent state whose duration depends on the decision made. While latent, robots do not participate in the decision mechanism, thus, the differential latency provides a positive feedback that favors the decision with the shortest latency. We analyze the dynamics using a discrete, time-homogeneous, absorbing Markov chain. |
