This paper focuses on the undecidability of translational tiling of $n$-dimensional space $\mathbb{Z}^n$ with a set of $k$ tiles. It is known that tiling $\mathbb{Z}^2$ with translated copies with a set of $8$ tiles is undecidable. Greenfeld and Tao gave strong evidence in a series of works that for sufficiently large dimension $n$, the translational tiling problem for $\mathbb{Z}^n$ might be undecidable for just one tile. This paper shows the undecidability of translational tiling of $\mathbb{Z}^3$ with a set of $6$ tiles.
