Exploring and mapping radioactive environments presents potentially challenging and risky tasks. To ensure safety, the use of robots can help mitigate these risks. However, deploying a single robot may not be enough to effectively cover the entire area. Therefore, the technique of using multiple robots or a robot swarm can play a significant role in reducing time and improving the exploration and mapping process. Additionally, multi-robot systems have high reliability, and if a number of robots fail due to reasons such as radiation exposure, the remaining robots can continue the mission. This article focuses on the use of several autonomous robots simultaneously for radiation mapping and the discovery of radioactive sources. The study has examined various approaches, including the effect of the number and absorbed dose of robots. The results indicate that increasing the number of robots can enhance the speed of exploration, but the rate of increase is lower than the rate of the robot number due to the crowding of robots. To achieve optimal exploration, it is necessary to utilize more advanced models, such as movement patterns inspired by nature. This paper presents valuable insights into the coordination of collective robots for searching in radioactive environments, which could open up opportunities for the application of swarm intelligence in nuclear scenarios.
