Abstract
No two wolves are the same. Some of the
variations between individuals such as variation in mass and
age have major implications on their hunting abilities. The
predatory success of a wolf pack has been found to depend on
its composition of individuals along these dimensions. Building
from a system for simulating wolf hunting behavior in earlier
work [1], this paper explores the effects of heterogeneity among
individuals in a team and the utility of these variations for the
team as a whole. The implications for robot team control and
organization are presented.
