Recently, auction methods have been investigatedas effective, decentralized methods for multi-robot coordination.Experimental research has shown great potential, but has notbeen complemented yet by theoretical analysis. In this paper wecontribute a theoretical analysis of the performance of auctionmethods for multi-robot routing. We suggest a generic frameworkfor auction-based multi-robot routing and analyze a variety ofbidding rules for different team objectives. This is the first timethat auction methods are shown to offer theoretical guaranteesfor such a variety of bidding rules and team objectives.
