    The multi-robot teams have a potential to significantly speed up the mapping process of the environment, compared to the single robot mapping. However, in multi-robot case the problem of merging the information collected by individual robots must be addressed. There are many map merging approaches that allow the fusion of the maps, when the relative positions of the robots are known initially or are discovered during the mapping. The case, when relative positions of robots are unknown, is considered by relatively few researchers. This paper presents a novel method of map merging during multi-robot exploration, when the relative positions of the robots are not known
