Abstract
The key problem of multi-robot exploration in unknown environment is how to appropriately select targets for the robots. In this paper, we present a new method to guide multi-robot exploration. Ant colony optimisation (ACO) is introduced to find the optimal target assignment for the robots. A new cost function is designed which takes into account distance, target position and robot density. The simulation results demonstrated that the proposed method effectively solves the problem of optimal target assignment and exploration efficiency is much increased.
