Abstract :
This paper reviews the literature related to multi-robot research with a focus on space applications. It starts by examining definitions of, and some of the fields of research, in multi-robot systems. An overview of space applications with multiple robots and cooperating multiple robots is presented. The multi-robot cooperation techniques used in theoretical research as well as experiments are reviewed, and the applicability for space applications is investigated.
