A Multiagent Approach to Qualitative Landmark-Based Navigation

In this paper we present a multiagent system for landmark-based navigation in unknown environments. We propose a bidding mechanism to coordinate the actions requested by the different agents. The navigation system has been tested on a real robot on indoor unstructured environments.
