The Year of CoCoRo 32/52: Another important phase of the "combined scenario #1" in CoCoRo is the collective search performed by Jeff robots on the ground of the water body for a sunken metallic/magnetic target object. We conducted an extra series of experiments on this phase of our "combined scenario #1" to see the efficiency and robustness of this autonomous swarming behavior. It is based on correlated random walk with collision avoidance and observation of the internal compass of the robot. After finding the object other robots are recruited to this place by horizontal blue-light signals to ultimately achieve an aggregation of Jeff robots around the target that marks this location for the Lily robots which will then form the "relay chain" to the surface station.
