Summary

The anthill is a complex space in constant change. A research team from the Research Centre on Animal Cognition attempted to study the way the building of this structure results from individual and collective behaviours. They developed a device in order to observe and model tasks performed by each ant, and produce a virtual replica of the anthill structures.
