Ant Colony Optimization
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-28
CORE DEFINITION
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), also known as the ant algorithm, is a probabilistic algorithm used to find optimal paths in graphs. It was proposed by Marco Dorigo in 1992 in his doctoral thesis "Ant system: optimization by a colony of cooperating agents", inspired by the behavior of ants finding paths to food. ACO is a simulated evolutionary algorithm, and preliminary research shows that it has many excellent properties. For the optimization design of PID controller parameters, the results of ACO design were compared with those of genetic algorithm design. Numerical simulation results show that ACO has the effectiveness and application value of a new simulated evolutionary optimization method.

Anchor fast decisions
Inspired by ants using pheromone to mark paths during foraging, multiple agents cooperate through positive feedback and evaporation to find the shortest path; it is a swarm intelligence optimization algorithm.
