ANT SWARM INTELLIGENCE. “Ant colonies solve mazes using swarm intelligence. Swarm intelligence allows groups of organisms to solve problems that exceed the cognitive capabilities of individuals. Consider the case of an ant colony solving a maze. Many ants begin to walk the maze at random, depositing a trail of volatile pheromones behind them. The ant traffic which happens to flow along the shortest path of the maze can make more return trips (and hence lay more pheromone).”
