A review of multi-agent mobile robot systems applications

A multi-agent robot system (MARS) is one of the most important topics nowadays. The basic task of this system is based on distributive and cooperative work among agents (robots). It combines two important systems; multi-agent system (MAS) and multi-robots system (MRS). MARS has been used in many applications such as navigation, path planning detection systems, negotiation protocol, and cooperative control. Despite the wide applicability, many challenges still need to be solved in this system such as the communication links among agents, obstacle detection, power consumption, and collision avoidance. In this paper, a survey of the motivations, contributions, and limitations for the researchers in the MARS field is presented and illustrated. Therefore, this paper aims at introducing new study directions in the field of MARS
