Cooperative Exploration With Multiple Robots Using Low Bandwidth Communication
Overview This paper considers the problem of exploring an unknown environment with a team of mobile robots. In this context it is assumed that the robots have only a low bandwidth communication link. The key problem to be solved in this context is to decide which information should be transmitted over the network to enable the other team mates to choose appropriate target points. In this paper, each robot approximates its representation of the environment by a set of polygons. This paper presents an efficient way to incrementally improve that kind of maps. Furthermore an existing coordination strategy is adapted so that it is able to deal with the approximated representations in a distributed fashion.
