A Physarum-Inspired Decision-Making Strategy for Multisource Task Searching of Mobile Robots

Algorithm 1

The PS-based source search.
(1)Initialize input a Four-tuple , rini (xini, yini), Imax and t = 0
(2)For t = 1: Imax
(3)Calculate fs(n) based on equation (3)
(4)Calculate Gs(n) based on equation (4)
(5)Normalized calculation Ns(n) based on equation (5)
(6)Choose the new position of the mobile robot r(t + 1) based on equation (6)
(7)And t = t + 1
(8)Ifthen
(9)  S eliminate the si
(10)End if
(11)If
(12)   Break
(13)End if
(14)End for
