Hipsters_In_Swarm

In the social networks like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram the spread of opinions, memes, news or in the network of people the spread of diseases or rumors depends on its structure as well as the spreading process. However, heterogeneous behavior among different type of agents can substantially change this spreading dynamics. For example, anti-establishment nodes also known as hipsters can significantly affect the spreading dynamics of two competing products when only one product was present initially. Here, we aim to investigate such behavior in the Swarm of Robots by introducing hipster robots in the network.
