This article establishes the Exploration-RRT algorithm: A novel general-purpose combined exploration and path planning algorithm, based on a multi-goal Rapidly-Exploring Random Trees (RRT) framework. Exploration-RRT (ERRT) has been specifically designed for utilization in 3D exploration missions, with partially or completely unknown and unstructured environments. The novel proposed ERRT is based o...
