Coordinated Multi-Robot Exploration Under Communication Constraints Using Decentralized Markov Decision Processes (2012, background): “…of resolution through one or more of the three directions: observability depending on whether each agent has complete or partial knowledge about the state of the world; communication according to the possibility and the cost of sharing information between the agents; and interdependency…”

Multiple‐Robot Simultaneous Localization and Mapping: A Review (2016, background): “Multiple-robot exploration (Rekleitis et al., 2001; Zlot et al., 2002; Burgard and Schneider, 2002; Sheng et al., 2006; Burgard et al., 2005; Wurm et al., 2008) is also another interesting topic which is tightly coupled with multiple-robot SLAM.”
A Survey and Analysis of Multi-Robot Coordination (2013, unknown): “Wurm et al. [40] presented a strategy for coordinating a team of exploring robots by using the Voronoi diagram for the segmentation of the environmental map.”
