Multi-robot task planning (MRTP) is one of the fundamental problems for multi-robot systems. An important question facing this research topic is, which robot should execute which task so as the expected overall system performance can be maximized? Many approaches have been proposed for such a purpose. This paper investigates the existing works in the field. The approaches have been surveyed and some representatives are compared with detailed results. A brief discussion and further research perspectives are also given at the end of the paper.
