This study presents a Systematic Literature Mapping (SLM) on cooperative and collaborative motion planning for multi-unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In this study, titles, abstracts, and keywords of 309 articles published between 2014 and 2024 were analyzed using natural language processing. It has identified six dominant research topics, analyzed the temporal trends showing a growing interest in the field, and highlighted some co-relation between the topics and future research opportunities, such as addressing coverage problems in dynamic and non-free environments. Thus, this SLM provides an overview of the field.
