Abstract
We investigate self-moving particles which prefer to hop with a certain turning angle equally distributed to the right or left. We assume this turning angle distribution to be given by a double Gaussian distribution. Based on the model of Active Brownian particles and we calculate the diffusion coefficient in dependence on the mean and the dispersion of the turning angles. It is shown that bounded distribution of food in patches will be optimally consumed by the objects if they hop preferably with a given angle and not straight forwardly.
