GIven an unlimited number of robots: Oh well... Nevertheless, the idea is surely a good concept for the basics of exploration.

You only need 3.

Ive seen a flying swarm of bots using the same algorithm and model, flying above my city. Why?

[@johnwu5908]

They are called "birds". Government owns them
