In this paper, the methods of environmental mapping with multi-agent mobile robots are discussed. Using three small mobile robots, proprietary software has been developed in C# in order to complete the tasks. The main methods of localisation, object detection, map representation and strategy will be described within the paper. The localisation includes different methods including one adapted from a system developed within the Cybernetics Department at Reading University. Problems associated with the technologies used, and solutions aimed to overcome these issues are also described. Some experimental results from the project are shown from the preset scenarios within the MADLAB laboratory.
