MIT researchers have designed an algorithm to ensure the fruitful cooperation of information-gathering robot teams. Their approach relies on balancing a tradeoff between data collected and energy expended – which eliminates the chance that a robot might execute a wasteful maneuver to gain just a smidgeon of information. The researchers said this assurance is vital for robot teams’ success in complex, unpredictable environments.
