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. There exist many solutions for single-robot SLAM; 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 multiplerobot 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.
