Recent technological development has made multirobot collaboration a promising approach for tasks in unstructured and dynamically changeable environments. However, challenges still occur especially in reliability, efficiency and system integration. This review systematically examines former research and experiments, with focus on robust perception, collaborative planning and hybrid architectures. It poses that there requires advancement in communication-control co-design, lightweight collaboration models, and standardized tests. The study concludes that future progress should depend on adaptable and cost-effective systems capable of establishing positive human-robot relationship, which requires combination of robotics, AI and edge computing.
