A survey of cooperative hunting control algorithms for multi-AUV systems

Cooperative multi-robot systems have become a particularly popular research focus in recent years for their potential applications. In this paper, the current research and development situations both home and abroad in this area, specifically, in the multi-AUV hunting systems are systematically surveyed. Firstly, the related basic theories as well as research significance are briefly introduced. Then the research contents and algorithms are presented with their advantages and limitations commented. At last, the major development trends for future study are discussed.
