Currently, literature regarding Multiagent Path Finding (MAPF) does not give a broad enough overview of all the different approaches. Many papers are hard to read and require proper knowledge of MAPF. The goal of this report is to give a global overview of MAPF. To achieve this goal, we provide a detailed explanation of what MAPF problems look like, as well as giving a clear overview of the strength and weaknesses of different solutions. Besides this theoretical analysis, we also analyse and critique benchmarking performed by other researchers. Following all this, we conclude that the field of MAPF lacks agreement on terminology. Furthermore, performance analysis is limited to researchers choice, skewing research in their own favour.

The core challenge of the BedBasedEcho BEP project is to create an algorithm to find the heart, and apply it on a robotic echocardiography solution. The team has found multiple complex solutions that are related to this problem, and has extracted useful information from these solutions to apply to this problem. However, some of these complex solutions were too complex, causing the team to run out of physical resources, or to have the solution fail entirely. By taking a step back, and simplifying the solution, the team has managed to create a system that performs marginally better than the complex solutions. The designed product consists of three major components: the data gathering, the learning, and the deployment. When used in this order, the result is an algorithm that can predict which way it should move to gain the optimal view of the heart. The algorithm will be used as a component in a larger automated echocardiography system. Ultimately, the algorithm showed promise by autonomously finding a good view of the heart.
