Now, for something completely different

Future robotic exploration using honeybee search strategy: Example search for caves on Mars
Aron Kisdi, Adrian R.L. Tatnall.  Acta Astronautica.  In press

> Inspired by the fascinating way bees search for new hives, this paper considers the use of a similar artificially simulated methods in order to find areas of interest in planetary exploration. The simulation shows that surface exploration mission with multiple fully autonomous explorers are potentially much more efficient than previous and near future rover missions. The main advantages are the speed and the increased size of the searchable area, but at a cost of some error.
