Hello everyone.

 

I am an IT student from Germany and I am working on ants brindge construction simulation.

The aim is to reproduce the behaviour of ants when they build a bridge with their bodies.

 

There are many different scenarios possible, where ants build a bridges...

 

On youtube there are few videos, but too short or in a bad quality.

First of all I need very simple situations and short bridges, like two or there bodies length. Then bigger and complex can follow.

 

Does anyone know where I could find such videos?

Maybe anyone of you is able to record such a video for me?

 

Thank you in advance.

The best examples I can think of would be army ant bridges.

 

Here's some ant bridge videos I found.

Thank you for searching.

 

I need somethink where they start building from zero, because I need to reproduce it.

Like Trailandstreet posted.

 

This is also a good example:

Not my videos. Sounds like a Youtube problem.
