This proceedings volume documents recent cutting-edge developments in multi-robot systems research. This volume is the result of the
Third International workshop on Multi-Robot Systems that was held in March 2005 at the
Naval Research Laboratory in
Washington, D.C. This workshop brought together top researchers working in areas relevant to designing teams of autonomous vehicles, including robots and unmanned ground, air, surface, and undersea vehicles. The workshop focused on the challenging issues of team architectures,
vehicle learning and adaptation, heterogeneous group control and cooperation, task selection, dynamic autonomy, mixed initiative, and human and robot team interaction.
