Abstract(in English) In mobile sensing, which conducts sensing operations by installing a sensor on an autonomous mobile robot, the position and number of sensing targets are in general unknown, therefore, it is necessary for the robot itself to search for the sensing targets. In this work, we focus on sensing operations counting on the signals emitted by the sensing targets, where two types of search algorithms are required: one for discovering the signal itself emitted by the sensing targets, and the other for approaching to each sensing target based on the signal strength after the signal is discovered. In this paper, we investigate search efficiency of algorithms to discover the signals emitted by the sensing targets by computer simulations. Specifically, we clarify the effectiveness of the function for each robot to move away from past positions stored in the history of the robot itself and its neighbors. We also investigate the efficiency of a method forming a swarm to search for the sensing targets.
