• abstract = "We propose a simple yet efficient way of coordinating multiple homogeneous robots in the exploration of unknown environments. A guided probabilistic exploration of an unknown environment is achieved via combining random movement with pheromone-based stigmergic guidance. The emergent strategy is shown to provide a scalable solution to multi-robot coordination for the area exploration task, with a faster than linear speed-up with the addition of new robots. We use an approach to evaluating the desired exploration behaviour that emphasizes surveying rather than scanning the environment. We analyse the emergent exploration strategies and demonstrate their effectiveness in higher complexity environments.",
