TL;DR
This paper demonstrates that soldier crab swarms can be used to implement logical gates within constrained environments, showing potential for unconventional computing methods.
Contribution
It introduces a novel approach of using soldier crab swarms for logical computation through geometric constraints, combining biological behavior with computational design.
Findings
Crabs tolerate perturbations in swarming behavior
Swarm-based logic gates can be realized in lab experiments
Geometric constraints enable logical operations in crab swarms
Abstract
Soldier crabs Mictyris guinotae exhibit pronounced swarming behaviour. The swarms of the crabs tolerant of perturbations. In computer models and laboratory experiments we demonstrate that swarms of soldier crabs can implement logical gates when placed in a geometrically constrained environment.
