In this paper two cooperating robots are used to explore an unknown environment. The new technique aims to decrease the exploration time and the energy consumption. It combines the wall-following exploration algorithm and frontier-based exploration technique. In the proposed algorithm the robots detect the walls and scan different parts of the environment as quick as they can. Then they employ frontier-based algorithm to complete exploring the remained unexplored areas. During these two stages, the robots sweep the line-of-sight between them in each step to maximize the exploration efficiency.
