Abstract
In this paper, we propose an algorithm for multiple mobile robots performing a foraging task. In the proposed algorithm, robots select behaviors based on their activities, which were adjusted by interaction with other robots and foods. The proposed algorithm was inspired by the mechanism governing the fighting behavior in male crickets. Simulation results showed that the algorithm is efficient in a dynamic environment.
