Abstract

This paper tends to mainly target two different types of swarming behaviour in a 2D environment, namely area coverage and goal searching within an environment occupied with obstacles. For such behaviours, we introduce a roadmap (a tree) customized to behave well in multi-agent scenarios. We consider a variety of situations and environments, and explain how the method we have proposed comes into operation under such circumstances. A comparison is, also, made with respect to multiple query roadmaps.
