Truly autonomous robots, either as single units or in groups will be required to generate and manage their own energy. This paper explores the idea of robot 'trophallaxis' whereby one robot can donate an amount of its own internal energy reserve to another. Different strategies for
energy transfer
are considered within the test simulation sce- nario of a police 'search line' task. We look at the scenario in order to understand the effects of
energy loss
during ener- gy transfer. We show that even when faced with very inefficient
energy transfer
mechanism, robot trophallaxis can con- fer considerable advantage for a group of autonomous robots.

...Such a system has the limitation of reducing the range of the robots in their mission task as well as the foraging radius even though it has been suggested that the ‘mobility’ radius of this type of robot can be extended using a form of energy sharing based on the principle of trophallaxis observed in some species of social insects (
