- Abstract
Exploring unknown environments using multiple robots has numerous applications in various fields but remains a challenging task. This study proposes a novel hybrid optimization method called Hybrid Vulture-Coordinated Multi-Robot Exploration ( H V C M E ), which combines Coordinated Multi-Robot Exploration ( C M E ) and African Vultures Optimization Algorithm ( A V O A ) to optimize the construction of a finite map in multi-robot exploration. We compared H V C M E with four other similar algorithms using three performance measures: run time, percentage of the explored area, and the number of times the method failed to complete a run. The experimental results show that HVCME outperforms the other four methods, demonstrating its effectiveness in optimizing the construction of a finite map in an unknown indoor environment.
