We propose an artificial slime mould model (ASMM) inspired by the plasmodium of Physarum polucephalum (P. polucephalum). ASMM consists of plural slimes, and each slime shares energy via a tube with neighboring slimes. Outer slimes sense their environment and conform to it. Outer slimes periodically transmit information about their surrounding environment via a contraction wave to inner slimes. Thus, ASMM shows how slimes can sense a better environment even if that environment is not adjacent to the slimes. The slimes subsequently can move in the direction of an attractant.
This paper proposes an Artificial Plasmodium Algorithm (APA) mimicked a contraction wave of a plasmodium of physarum polucephalum. Plasmodia can live using the contracion wave in their body to communicate to others and transport a nutriments. In the APA, each plasmodium has two information as the wave information: the direction and food index. We apply the APA to 4 types of mazes and confirm that the APA can solve the mazes.
