Coordination without a priori information about the environment is an important problem in robotics, with applications from formation control to search and rescue. We propose a strategy based on cellular decomposition for coordinating search of solitary robots, with each robot considering cells assigned to others as soft obstacles. Simulations indicate the utility of the strategy when there is insufficient time to search the entire environment.
