Teams of robots are more fault tolerant than singlerobots, and auctions appear to be promising means forcoordinating them. In a recent paper at “Robotics: Scienceand Systems 2005,” we analyzed a coordinationsystem based on sequential single-item auctions. Weshowed that the coordination system is simple to implementand computation and communication efficient,and that the resulting sum of all travel distances inknown terrain is guaranteed to be only a constant factoraway from optimum. In this paper, we put these resultsin perspective by comparing our coordination systemagainst those based on either parallel single-itemauctions or combinatorial auctions, demonstrating thatit combines the advantages of both
