According to this thread it sounds like loop closures will not be found when working with multiple robots in the same space.

Let's say I have 5 robots all mapping the same space. If I had a computer dedicated to processing map data and loop closures would it be possible to listen to each robot's topics to generate a single online map with loop closures? Of course all machines would be on the same wireless N network.
