Abstract
P colonies were introduced in 2004 (see [10]) as an abstract computing device composed of independent single membrane agents, reactively acting and evolving in a shared environment. Each agent is equipped with a set of rules which are structured into simple programs. There are some models based on from original P colony. In most cases, models are equipped with such components which are associated with the environment. This is the case of Pcol automaton too. The agents work not only with environment but also with an input tape. We use this two theoretical computational devices to build complex robot controllers. In this paper we introduce simple controllers; the first one is used for fulfilling instructions and the other one for passing the maze using right-hand rule. We followed two different approaches and ideas and we present the obtained results in this paper.
