Exploration with ARWs

• This chapter presents an overview of various exploration schemes with single and multi Aerial Robotic Workers (ARWs) and their applications in Search and Rescue, Environmental Monitoring, and planetary exploration missions, under the assumption that the map is partially known or completely unknown. The presented methods in the chapter are in line with the field deployment of the ARWs in subterranean and planetary exploration missions. The addressed questions will include the operating environment configuration and path planning methods for single and multi-robot exploration. The chapter will also briefly present two exploration strategies in terms of frontier and sampling-based exploration algorithms. More specifically, frontier-based and Rapidly Exploring Random Tree (RRT)-based exploration methodologies with results will be explained in detail.
