The robots were made to use leJOS, allowing them to run Java programs. An algorithm was developed that would make a robot traverse an area, scanning the terrain at a frequency chosen by the user, allowing a balance of speed and precision. One robot can map a flat area of user-given dimensions with satisfactory precision. When additional robots are added, the mapping process is much faster. Based on the number of robots, the area is divided into smaller sections which are then scanned by individual robots. This research shows that robotic mapping systems are viable.. @. LorcanD.
