Cooperative Consensus Simultaneous Localization And Mapping For Multi Blimp System

Navigation in an ocean environment with few static features and dynamic water background is an adventurous field to be explored by multi-agent system. This is because of its non-uniform availability of measurement on the ocean surface since the spatial feature distribution is greatly varied. Thus...
