Abstract
The Collective Intelligence Research Tool (CIRT) is an experimental software and hardware research tool. It provides an inexpensive and efficient alternative research implementation that demonstrates simulations of the collective behaviour of self-organized systems, primarily social insects. The software focuses on 2D simulations of the woodchip-collecting behaviour of termites and 3D simulations of the building behaviour of wasps. The hardware simulation employs a Boe-Bot robot, which has the potential of simulating simple movements of a social insect, by extending its functionality through adding sensors and integrating a control chip.
