(2)</a>) is plotted for roach and robot experiments as a function of the number of agents. For ten agents, the results were averaged over five roach and four bristlebot experiments; for twenty agents, the results were averaged over three roach and four bristlebot experiments. The effective mean crossing time is plotted as a red square for the roach results and a blue circle for the robot results, with standard deviation error bars plotted in each case.</p> 2026-10-01T17:50:38Z Image Figure 10.1371/journal.pcsy.0000136.g005 https://figshare.com/articles/figure/_p_Effective_mean_crossing_times_for_different_agent_densities_p_/34049567 CC BY 4.0
