In this paper, we formulate a problem to automatically explore unknown indoor areas by multiple mobile nodes in a short time and propose a method to solve the problem. If all mobile nodes move to unknown areas, a mobile node may visit a place where other nodes have already visited. Mobile nodes are needed to cooperate with each other by radio communication and efficiently explore unknown areas by sharing visit information. However, even if two mobile nodes are near to each other, these nodes may be not able to communicate due to extreme radio-wave attenuation by objects such as wall, especially at an aisle corner. Then, our proposed method lets a part of mobile nodes stay at appropriate positions in order to maintaining network connections. Our method shorten the time for completion of exploration by increasing visit information each node shares. Simulation results show that the time for exploration by the proposed method is 25.0% shorter than the time by the existing method that lets all of nodes move to unknown areas in a common indoor map. Moreover, for the virtual building with only single straight aisle, simulation results show that the time for exploration by the proposed method is 46.7% shorter than the time by the existing method. |
