Abstract

This paper presents a multi-scale searching and target-locating algorithm for a group of agents moving in a swarm and sensing potential targets. The aim of the algorithm is to use these agents to efficiently search for and locate targets with a finite sensing radius in some bounded area. We present an algorithm that both controls agent movement and analyzes sensor signals to determine where targets are located. We use computer simulations to determine the effectiveness of this collaborative searching. We derive some physical scaling properties of the system and compare the results to the data from the simulations.
