Exploration and Coordination of Complementary Multirobot Teams in a Hunter-and-Gatherer Scenario by Mehdi Dadvar, Saeed Moazami, Harley R. Myler, Hassan Zargarzadeh

“…We also demonstrate that the lack of effective coordination between hunters and gatherers significantly distorts the total effectiveness of the planning, especially in environments containing dense obstacles and confined corridors. Finally, it is statistically proven that the overall workload is distributed equally for each type of agent which ensures that the proposed solution is not biased to a particular agent and all agents behave analogously under similar characteristics.…”
