Abstract-The use of multi-agents topical crawlers based on the model of endogenous fitness introduces the problem of population control. We propose to harness this point through an energy based model to balance the reproduction/life expectency of agents. Our goal is to ease the tuning of parameters and to optimize the use of available ressources for the crawling. We introduce a model based on energy designed to control the ratio number of agents over precision of the crawling. We present some experiments that show that the size of the population remains under control during the crawling.
