Multi-robot System with Path Planning

In the last decade, multi-robot systems have been extensively deployed in civilian as well as in military applications. Multiple robots can perform tasks more efficiently than a single robot, and in some cases, accomplish tasks that cannot be even completed by a single robot. However, when multiple robots get involved, things become complicated regarding task allocation, path planning, and even energy management. We present strategies and approaches in these areas for multi-robot systems.
