This research activity is primarily focused to obtain information from an environment with the help of a group of coordinated robots. Each robot is responsible to plan its path independently but the robots, as an overall system, have a common goal of maximum information collection. This domain of research is known as Multi-Robot Informative Path Planning (MIPP). MIPP is very motivating due to its challenging nature and numerous real-world applications. It has shown its presence from semiautomatic applications like robotic search and rescue to fully automatic applications like interplanetary missions.
We consider the NP-Hard problem of MIPP in an unknown …
