Prior surveys, the authors argue, treated topics like communication design, learning strategy, and resilience as separate silos without showing how they depend on each other. This review proposes a five-part taxonomy covering collaboration stage, communication method, data fusion, learning strategy, and application area, plus three conditions for genuine cognitive synergy between agents. It also introduces GCI-Bench, a five-pillar scoring system meant to let researchers compare wildly different collaborative approaches on equal footing.\n\nMulti-agent coordination underpins connected-car networks, drone swarms, warehouse robotics, and smart-city sensor grids, but the field has lacked a shared way to measure progress or spot when collaboration actually helps versus when it just adds overhead. A common benchmark matters because papers in this space routinely report incompatible metrics, making it hard to tell genuine advances from noise.\n\nThe authors themselves flag the gap between simulation and real-world deployment as an open problem, which is a polite way of saying most of this still works better on paper than on pavement.","[\"ai\",\"robotics\",\"multi-agent-systems\",\"benchmarks\"]","2026-09-23T04:00:00.000Z","2026-09-23T08:03:38.915Z","2026-09-23T08:03:43.032Z","published",null,[],"ai",[24,26,27,28],"robotics","multi-agent-systems","benchmarks",[30],{"name":31,"url":32},"arXiv cs.AI","https:\u002F\u002Farxiv.org\u002Fabs\u002F2609.22967",0,{"sections":35},[36,39,43,48,53,57,61,66,71,76,81,86,91,96],{"name":37,"slug":24,"count":38,"latest_published_at":18},"AI",4297,{"name":40,"slug":41,"count":42,"latest_published_at":18},"Security","security",710,{"name":44,"slug":45,"count":46,"latest_published_at":47},"Policy","policy",369,"2026-09-23T02:13:52.000Z",{"name":49,"slug":50,"count":51,"latest_published_at":52},"Deals","deals",202,"2026-09-22T23:00:04.000Z",{"name":54,"slug":55,"count":56,"latest_published_at":18},"Hardware","hardware",169,{"name":58,"slug":59,"count":60,"latest_published_at":18},"Science","science",133,{"name":62,"slug":63,"count":64,"latest_published_at":65},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",110,"2026-09-22T20:00:00.000Z",{"name":67,"slug":68,"count":69,"latest_published_at":70},"Software","software",80,"2026-09-22T23:32:52.000Z",{"name":72,"slug":73,"count":74,"latest_published_at":75},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",79,"2026-09-22T22:21:13.000Z",{"name":77,"slug":78,"count":79,"latest_published_at":80},"Startups","startups",65,"2026-09-22T22:06:48.000Z",{"name":82,"slug":83,"count":84,"latest_published_at":85},"Gaming","gaming",45,"2026-09-22T15:35:06.000Z",{"name":87,"slug":88,"count":89,"latest_published_at":90},"General","general",43,"2026-09-21T23:48:56.000Z",{"name":92,"slug":93,"count":94,"latest_published_at":95},"Reviews","reviews",27,"2026-09-22T13:00:00.000Z",{"name":97,"slug":98,"count":99,"latest_published_at":100},"How-To","how-to",6,"2026-06-16T09:00:00.000Z"]
