Entrotaxis as a strategy for autonomous search and source reconstruction in turbulent conditions
TL;DR: This paper compares the performance and search behaviour of Entrotaxis with the popular Infotaxis algorithm, for searching in sparse and turbulent conditions where typical gradient-based approaches become inefficient or fail, and achieves a faster mean search time.
