Survey of multi-robot coverage

Abstract

The definition,classification and application of coverage are summarized roundly.And the recent research results about multi-robots communication,robotic mapping,coverage path planning,algorithm performance evaluating in multi-robot coverage are also discussed.The main challenges and difficulties in this aspect are analyzed,such as multi-robots architecture,multi-robots communication,robotic mapping,path planning,task allocation,coverage path planning and algorithm performance evaluating.Finally,some future trends of this field are presented.
