Environment Characterization for Non-Recontaminating Frontier-Based Robotic Exploration

This paper addresses the problem of obtaining a concise description of a physical environment for robotic exploration. We aim to determine the number of robots required to clear an environment using non-recontaminating exploration. We introduce the medial axis as a configuration space and derive a m...
