Title
Coordination strategies for multi-robot exploration and mapping
Abstract
Situational awareness in rescue operations can be provided by teams of autonomous mobile robots. Human operators are required to teleoperate the current generation of mobile robots for such applications; however, teleoperation is increasingly difficult as the number of robots is expanded. As the number of robots is increased, each robot may also interfere with one another and eventually decrease mapping performance. As presented here, through careful consideration of robot team coordination and exploration strategy, large numbers of mobile robots can be allocated to accomplish the mapping task more quickly and accurately. We present both the coordination and exploration strategies and present results from experiments in simulation as well as with up to nine mobile platforms.
