....was developed and used to study the e#ects of interference among robots. Optimal foraging theory models are mathematical models used in biology to model foraging behaviors of animals [ de Bourcier, 1996, Seth, 2000 ] The e#ect of group size on performance has been well studied. For instance, Hayes, 2002 ] presents a quantitative analysis of the tradeo#s between group size and e#ciency in collective search tasks. The analysis can be used to predict the optimal number of robots required to complete a task in the most e#cient way. The study was done only using simulation. In [ Hayes et al. 2000 ] ....

....Also, the performance benefit of using coordinated search is shown to be dependent on the relative values of the di#erent cost components. Finally, a sensor based computer simulation is used to support the analytical results, suggesting that the assumptions involved in their derivation are sound [38]. 5.1 Background Search tasks, because they submit well to parallelization, are an ideal application for multi agent systems. Search is a well studied problem (for a review, see [9] and there has been a significant amount of investigation into the e#ciency tradeo#s 49 between random and ....
