Abstract: Compared with the lack of work efficiency of a single agricultural robot, it is difficult to effectively solve the problems of reducing the supply of agricultural labor and increasing labor costs, the multi‑robot collaborative technology with intelligent, high‑precision, low‑cost, strong robustness and high anti‑interference ability can significantly improve the operation efficiency of the overall robot system and meet the development needs of precision agriculture. From the perspective of agricultural multi‑robot system architecture, this paper reviews the representative research results of four collaborative technologies of agricultural multi‑robot positioning, task allocation, path planning and multi‑robot communication in recent years, and analyzes the operation efficiency, communication damage, fault monitoring, resource conflict and other issues of agricultural multi‑robot collaboration. The future development of key directions such as centralized and distributed collaborative technology, fast and accurate environmental perception, reasonable real‑time task allocation, dynamic and reliable path planning and multi‑robot communication technology is prospected.

Key words: agricultural robot, positioning technology, task allocation, path planning, multi?machine communication
