A Linear Objective Function-Based Heuristic for Robotic Exploration of Unknown Polygonal Environments

This work presents a heuristic for describing the next best view location for an autonomous agent exploring an unknown environment. The approach considers each robot as a point mass with omnidirectional and unrestricted vision of the environment and line-of-sight communication operating in a polygon...
