Multiple Robot Simultaneous Localization and Mapping: A Review
Simultaneous localization and mapping SLAM in unknown GPS denied environments is a major challenge for researchers in the field of mobile robotics. Many solutions for single robot SLAM exist; however, moving to a platform of multiple robots adds many challenges to the existing problems. This paper reviews state of the art multiple robot systems, with a major focus on multiple robot SLAM. Various issues and problems in multiple robot SLAM are introduced, current solutions for these problems are reviewed, and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed.
