The paper deals with multi-robot centralized autonomous area exploration of unknown environment with static obstacles. A simple reasoning algorithm based on preassignment of routing priority is proposed. The algorithm tracks the frontiers and assigns the robots to the frontiers when the robots fall into a trap situation. The algorithm is simulated with various multi-robotic configurations in different environments and compared with performance indices in the MATLAB simulation environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
