A multiple unmanned aerial vehicle (MUAV) system is a group of vehicles that are designed with the aim to perform some collective behavior. Coverage control is one of the most active research fields in MUAVs. As MUAVs are nowadays widely used in many application areas, the research in the coverage control problem has become a hot point. Although several coverage control methods have been reported, there is a lack of work highlighting the features of these methods. In this paper, we present a survey of the most relevant works in this area, classifying the types of these works and describing the main contributions in their works.
