choice criterion is that the robot will travel short distances to the position closest to being explored, reducing the amount of time needed to reach them, which can be verified in the results of the tests performed to the method.

Also the Extended REG method is designed to be integrated in the context of a SLAM method, which facilitates the construction of environment maps simplifying the task of planning paths in unknown environments, which allows giving true autonomy to the robot responsible for obtaining the environment map eliminating the dependence on decision-making by a human operator. Finally, a series of simulations of the proposed integrated exploration strategy were carried out, which allowed us to validate our approach.
