In this paper, we present a new method for a swarm to collectively sense and follow a gradient in the environment. The agents in the swarm only rely on relative distance and bearing measurements of neighbors. Additionally, only a minority of agents in the swarm perceive the scalar value of the gradient at their location. We test the method with incrementally changing ratio of agents with sensors on various swarm sizes. In addition to repeated simulation experiments, we also test the performance with a real nano-drone swarm. Results show us that, using the new method, the swarm was successful at following the gradient in the environment even with a low portion of the swarm with sensors on various swarm sizes. A real nano-drone swarm also demonstrates a good performance in our test even with members having disabled sensors.
