Swarm intelligence based robotic search in unknown maze-like environments

作者：

Highlights：

• A robotic search algorithm for search in complex unknown environments is presented.

• Robots operate asynchronously and move continuously in both time and space.

• The proposed decentralized algorithm needs no communication center.

• The fitness function is based on minimal knowledge about the environment.
