像鱼类资源或森林这样的可再生资源应该以支持再生和可持续性的速度开发——这是一个复杂的问题，需要采取适应性的方法来保持足够高的开发，同时避免枯竭。由于存在无法跟踪所有可用资源的遗忘代理（这是群体机器人中经常出现的情况），确保开发工作的正确平衡尤其具有挑战性。此外，通过多个机器人开发资源的可能性为将精力集中在单个或多个并行资源上开辟了道路。这意味着群体需要集体决定是否在多个资源中保持凝聚力或分裂，作为可用资源在开发后补充能力的函数。在本文中，我们提出了一种分散策略，使一群机器人适应可用资源并平衡它们之间的努力，从而允许最大化利用率，同时避免完全耗尽资源。通过对策略参数的详细分析，可以深入了解机器人群的工作原理和预期性能。
Renewable resources like fish stock or forests should be exploited at a rate that supports regeneration and sustainability—a complex problem that requires adaptive approaches to maintain a sufficiently high exploitation while avoiding depletion. In the presence of oblivious agents that cannot keep track of all available resources—a frequent condition in swarm robotics—ensuring that the exploitation effort is correctly balanced is particularly challenging. Additionally, the possibility to exploit resources by multiple robots opens the way to focusing the effort either on a single or on multiple resources in parallel. This means that the swarm needs to collectively decide whether to remain cohesive or split among multiple resources, as a function of the ability of the available resources to replenish after exploitation. In this paper, we propose a decentralised strategy for a swarm of robots that adapts to the available resources and balances the effort among them, hence allowing to maximise the exploitation rate while avoiding to completely deplete the resources. A detailed analysis of the strategy parameters provides insights into the working principles and expected performance of the robot swarm.
