Development environments for autonomous mobile robots: A survey (2007, positive): “, 2004), multi-robot coordination (Jones and Matarić, 2004), multi-robot formation (Fredslund and Matarić, 2002), and multi-robot task allocation (Gerkey and Matarić, 2002).”
A Survey and Analysis of Multi-Robot Coordination (2013, neutral): “They also analysed and compared some iterated assignment architectures: ALLIANCE [4], BLE [108], and M+ [5] and some online assignment architectures: MURDOCH (auction-based MRTA) [60], first-price auctions (marketbased MRTA) [109] and dynamic role assignment [110], for MRTA, respectively.”
Distributed Intelligence: Overview of the Field and Its Application in Multi-Robot Systems (2008, background): “Market-based approaches to task allocation (e.g., (Dias et al. 2006; Zlot & Stentz 2006; Gerkey & Matari´c 2002)) make use of the theory of market economies to determine how best to manage bids, how to handle multiple bids in parallel, how to consider multiple tasks at once, and so forth.”

Aerial remote sensing in agriculture: A practical approach to area coverage and path planning for fleets of mini aerial robots (2011, methodology): “As a ﬁrst attempt, an integral backstepping methodology was implemented to achieve attitude stabilization (Olfati-Saber, 2001).”
Teamwork in Self-Organized Robot Colonies (2009, background): “Most studies consider two robots pushing a wide box simultaneously from a single side [18], [26], [53], [64], [74].”
A Formal Analysis and Taxonomy of Task Allocation in Multi-Robot Systems (2004, methodology): “The MRTA problems solved by the MURDOCH system (Gerkey and Matarić 2002b), in which tasks are randomly injected into the system over time, are instances of the on-line assignment problem.”
Coordinated multi-robot exploration using a segmentation of the environment (2008, methodology): “Such auction-based techniques have also been applied by Gerkey and Matarić [9] to efficiently solve the task allocation problem with a group of robots.”
Incentives for Mobile Crowd Sensing: A Survey (2016, background): “Auction-based approaches are also studied in a few non-monetary scenarios, such as target tracking in wireless sensor networks [52] and robot coordination [53].”
