3. Multi-robot SLAM
This section presents the main ways of implementing SLAM in a multi-robot context. The different approaches are presented and discussed. The main advantages and disadvantages are also outlined.
3.1 Distributed SLAM and offline common mapping
This first approach consists of implementing a SLAM on each robot (each robot has its own map). The common map is built independently, i.e. after the mission. The term "multi-robot" is in fact a misnomer in the sense of SLAM, since it's more a case of single-robot multi-SLAM (figure 10 ), with cooperation taking place when the common map is generated.
