Abstract:When the conflict between interests of pursuers and the overall interests is generated in many-to-one pursuit, more price will be paid by the pursuit system. The classical strategy space can be extended to the range of quantum strategy space after adjusting the payoff distribution mechanism and introducing the quantum minority game. The global optimization can be achieved when robots maximize their own interests in this space. According to the experimental analysis of quantum minority game in the pursuit process, the individual and overall interests are unified,and the robots significantly improve the efficiency by quantum strategy.
