Abstract

Numerous social foragers form a foraging front that sweeps through the aggregation of prey. Based on this strategy, and using variational arguments, we develop an algorithm to provide a group-level specification of the shape of the sweeping front for a foraging multi-robot system. The presented flux-based algorithm has the desired property of generating more regular shapes than previously introduced algorithms.
