In this study, considering the complexity of airflow and concentration distributions in dynamic indoor environments, we present a comprehensive particle swarm optimization (CPSO) method that integrates the IPSO algorithm with a source confirming algorithm and a strategy for escaping from local extremum areas to improve the success rate and efficiency of source localization. (2) A multi-robot source localization system was developed, and three robots were used to validate the presented method at two typical source locations (DS, in the downwind zone, and RS, in the recirculation zone) in a dynamic indoor environment with the air supply louvers of a cabinet air conditioner periodically swinging from left to right. ./cache/cord-266487-ah3jclgw.txt ./txt/cord-266487-ah3jclgw.txt
