Abstract :
This paper presents different approaches to fully autonomous exploration of unknown terrain for individual as well as groups of mobile robots. All algorithms have been tested on a simulation environment and verified on the real robot platform WAMbot, the West Australian entry for the MAGIC2010 robot challenge, based on Pioneer 3 AT robots, augmented by various sensor systems.
