    "Multi-Robot Coalition Formation"
    by Lovekesh Vig and Julie A. Adams,
    in IEEE Transactions on Robotics, Vol 22, No 4, pp. 637-649, August 2006

    This paper discusses robot coalition formation in the large-scale multi-robots system including loosely and tightly-coupled tasks. A task allocation mechanism based on Ant Colony Algorithm is proposed. This method adopts hierarchical architecture. In the high level, we employ Ant Colony Algorithm to find optimal allocations. Namely, each ant forms a task allocation so as to choose an undertaker for every task. In the low level, each ant forms a task-oriented robot coalition to perform a tightly-coupled task. Simulation results show that the task allocation mechanism is feasible and valid.
