Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In mobile sensing, in which autonomous mobile robots with sensors perform sensing operations, the position and number of sensing targets are unknown, therefore, the robots must search for the sensing targets by themselves.
To this end, a mobile sensing cluster has been proposed, in which multiple robots form a swarm through swarm intelligence and information exchange using wireless communication, and search for sensing targets efficiently.
In the conventional algorithm of mobile sensing cluster, a swarm arriving at a specific target (heading swarm) can be followed by a following swarm that heads for the same target with random movements. In this case, if there is only a single target around these swarms, the random search of the following swarm becomes redundant. In addition, if there is not sufficient number of robots required to execute a given task against the sensing target, robots need to wait until the other robots arrive. These redundant movements and waiting time degrade the search efficiency of mobile sensing cluster. Therefore, in this paper, we propose algorithms that include mutual assistance between robots to suppress the redundant search of the following swarms and to reduce the waiting time of arriving robots. We verify the search efficiency of the proposed algorithms by computer simulations.
