Abstract

This survey explores recent advancements in decentralized Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF), with a focus on communication-efficient coordination strategies, scalability in large systems, and handling dynamic or partially observable environments. We systematically categorize algorithms and highlight current challenges and future directions.
