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 ... (Update)
