* Distributed solutions for efficiently allocating a set of complex tasks to a robot team, by giving individual robots the ability to come up with new ways to perform a task, or by allowing multiple robots to cooperate by sharing the subcomponents of a task, or both.<ref>{{Cite conference |last1=Zlot |first1=R. |last2=Stentz |first2=A. |title=Complex Task Allocation For Multiple Robots |book-title=Proceedings of the 2005 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation |pages=1515–1522 |language=en-US |doi=10.1109/ROBOT.2005.1570329 |year=2005 |isbn=978-0-7803-8914-4 |citeseerx=10.1.1.70.5598 |s2cid=3281638}}</ref>
