This work presents a novel approach to effcient multirobot
mapping and exploration which exploits a market
architecture in order to maximize information gain
while minimizing incurred costs. This system is reliable
and robust in that it can accommodate dynamic
introduction and loss of team members in addition to
being able to withstand communication interruptions
and failures. Results showing the capabilities of our
system on a team of exploring autonomous robots are
given.
