The ability to acquire knowledge of the environment actively is essential for autonomous system. In this paper, we propose a multi-robot active simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm based on mutual information for feature-based representation environments that do not depend on the grid map. A multi-layer motion planner and virtual landmarks are introduced to improve exploration efficiency and reduce planning time. To improve the system's accuracy and scalability, we also developed a decentralized version of the active SLAM based on the submap-joining approach. Both simulations and real-world experiments are performed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
