In recent years, there has been a growing interest in designing multi-robot systems
(hereafter MRSs) to provide cost effective, fault-tolerant and reliable solutions to a variety of …

In the field of mobile robotics, the study of multi-robot systems (MRSs) has grown
significantly in size and importance in recent years. Having made great progress in the …

Swarm robotics is a new approach to the coordination of multi-robot systems which consist
of large numbers of relatively simple robots which takes its inspiration from social insects …

The key to utilizing the potential of multirobot systems is cooperation. How can we achieve
cooperation in systems composed of failure-prone autonomous robots operating in noisy …

The swarm intelligence paradigm has proven to have very interesting properties such as
robustness, flexibility and ability to solve complex problems exploiting parallelism and self …

Cooperative multi-robot tasks can benefit from heterogeneity in the robots' physical and
behavioral traits. In spite of this, traditional Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) …

As the community strives towards autonomous multi-robot systems, there is a need for these
systems to autonomously form coalitions to complete assigned missions. Numerous …

From an engineering point of view, the problem of coordinating a set of autonomous, mobile
robots for the purpose of cooperatively performing a task has been studied extensively over …

One of the essential benefits of swarm robotic systems is redundancy. In case one robot
breaks down, another robot can take steps to repair the failed robot or take over the failed …

Multiple cooperating robots hold the promise of improved performance and increased fault
tolerance for large-scale problems such as planetary survey and habitat construction. Multi …
