Abstract: Three methods are described for exploring a continuous unknown planar region by
a group of robots having limited sensors and no explicit communication. We formalize
the problem, prove that its offline version is NP-hard, and show a lower bound on
the length of any solution. Then a deterministic mark and cover (MAC) algorithm is
described to for the online problem using short-lived navigational markers as means of
navigation and indirect communication. The convergence of the algorithm is
