Abstract
The objectives of the robots are to explore the whole environment as a group, while maintaining communication with the base computer throughout the entire exploration. Our method was implemented using a mobile robot equipped with a sonar range finder, a communication unit, and a software module. The robot performs collision free navigation, dynamic object detection, data collection, and communication with a base computer. This work demonstrates that multiple robots can improve overall mapping performance of an unknown environment.
