Abstract

A collection of more than two autonomous moving robots which work together is named as group of mobile robots. The simple robots have to coordinate each other which is important in multi-robot systems. The multi-robots have developed a good potential in many of the applications such as in military works, surveillance in the battlefield, searching of weeds in case of farming and searching for survivors in an accidental area, transportation of vehicles, and foraging techniques. This paper gives information about various coordination methods involved in multi-robot systems including many parameters and is important to achieve the goal and completing the given task.
