We propose a hybrid system architecture where coverage tasks are assigned to robots in a centralized manner, and individual robots plan their paths cooperatively in a distributed fashion. In this way, robots can focus only on local path planning tasks, while a ground station ensures coordination among the team. We show the applicability of our method to various objects and quantitatively evaluate the performance of our solution for various robot team sizes.enmulti-robot systemrotary-wingmicro aerial vehiclecoverageinspectiontext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
