Heterogeneous foraging swarms can be better by Gal A. Kaminka, Yinon Douchan

“…EI uses information about the time between their own collisions (information readily available even to simple physical robots). While promising, the use of EI is brittle (as we show), since robots that selfishly seek to optimize their own EI (minimizing time spent on collisions) can actually cause swarm-wide performance to degrade.ResultsTo address this, we derive a reward function from a game-theoretic view of swarm foraging as a fully-cooperative, unknown horizon repeating game. …”
