            Abstract : 
In recent years, there has been considerable interest in the control of cooperative multi robot systems. The paper purposes a general formulation of the collaboration problem for a team of mobile robots. An application of the formulation is presented illustrating a heuristic strategy for collaborative exploration of a given unknown environment by means of a team of N robots with exploration capabilities
