Abstract | ||||
ABSTRACT Multi-robot systems exploration of an environment is an important process that most automated applications depend on. In this paper, common algorithms used to perform the exploration process of an unknown cell-based environment occupied by a set of obstacles using a set of identical robots are studied and their performance are compared depending on three metrics: the total explored area in the map, overall mission time, and the number of hops in the networked robots. The performance of these algorithms is evaluated for different environments and different team sizes using MRESim computer simulator. | ||||
