  • Jan 2023
With the aim of allowing the realistic simulation of exploration and coverage algorithms, we present the tool Multi Agent Exploration Simulator (MAES), which is an open-source physics based discrete step multi robot simulator. MAES features movement in a continuous 2D space, realistic physics based on the Unity framework, advanced visualization tec...
