- Abstract: In multi-agent robotic exploration, managing and effectively utilizing the vast, heterogeneous data generated from dynamic environments poses a significant challenge. Federated learning (FL) is a promising approach for distributed mapping, addressing the challenges of decentralized data in collaborative learning. FL enables joint model training across multiple agents without requiring the centralization or sharing of raw data, overcoming bandwidth and storage constraints. Our approach leverages implicit neural mapping, representing maps as continuous functions learned by neural networks, for compact and adaptable representations. We further enhance this approach with meta-initialization on Earth datasets, pre-training the network to quickly learn new map structures. This combination demonstrates strong generalization to diverse domains like Martian terrain and glaciers. We rigorously evaluate this approach, demonstrating its effectiveness for real-world deployment in multi-agent exploration scenarios.
