Multi-robot autonomous exploration in 2D

This project demonstrates that multiple robots can collaborate to explore an unknown environment without GPS to generate a map with reasonable accuracy. This addresses exploration as a problem in the planning layer of the robotics domain. A frontier-based  exploration methodology will be explained. The main approach uses Rapidly-expanding Random Trees for frontier detection, and map merging for information sharing. The developed algorithm also makes use of existing solutions for SLAM, and path planning. The algorithm runs in a network of robots, and a master machine on ROS.
