In this approach, mobile robots send their local maps to the central controller and coordinate with each other using a wireless sensor network (WSN). Different from existing rendezvous point-based exploration strategies, the use of a WSN as the communication media allows quick and cost-effective exploration and mapping of an unknown environment. Overall, this paper introduces WSN-aided mobile robot exploration strategy and shows comparative performance evaluations using the Player/Stage simulation platform. Here, our main goal is to present potential advantages of WSN-aided mobile robot exploration for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMobile Robot Exploration TeamsWsnsExploration StrategyPlayer/StageReal-TimeSimultaneous LocalizationMultirobot ExplorationWireless SensorConference Object6839533+N/AWOS:0003064982000692-s2.0-84855692802Q3
