Our performance metric is the distance overhead of the first robot to reach the source, which is a good measure for the speed of an odor source localization algorithm. Using the performance distribution of single-robot experiments, we calculate an ideal performance for multi-robot teams. We carry out simulations in a realistic robotic simulator and provide quantitative evidence of the differences between ideal and realistic performances of a given algorithm. A closer analysis of the results show that these differences are mainly due to physical interference among robots.Odor source localizationKhepera IIIWebotsBio-inspiredMulti-robotNCCR-MICSNCCR-MICS/CL2text::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
