Abstract <p>A solution to the problem of redistributing agents between groups based on simulating a form of social parasitism in ants known as slave-making is considered. To provide a comprehensive solution, the problem is integrated with a method of orientation based on visual landmarks and a compass, including route memorization and return. The models and mechanisms used are described. It is shown that even technical problems, such as following a leader, can be solved using bioinspired mechanisms.</p>
