Existing approaches to multirobot coordination separate scheduling and task allocation, but
finding the optimal schedule with joint tasks and spatial constraints requires robots to …

Abstract Purpose of Review Task allocation using a team or coalition of robots is one of the
most important problems in robotics, computer science, operational research, and artificial …

Current technological developments and application-driven demands are bringing us closer
to the realization of autonomous multi-robot systems performing increasingly complex …

Multi-robot systems require efficient and accurate planning in order to perform mission-
critical tasks. This paper introduces a mixed-integer linear programming solution to …

We consider the problem of dynamically allocating tasks to multiple agents under time
window constraints and task completion uncertainty. Our objective is to minimize the number …

In order to fully exploit the advantages inherent to cooperating heterogeneous multi-robot
teams, sophisticated coordination algorithms are essential. Time-extended multi-robot task …

We propose a method for task allocation to multiple physical agents that works when tasks
have temporal and spatial constraints and agents have different capacities. Assuming that …

Current technological advances and application-driven demands are leading to the
development of autonomous multirobot systems able to perform increasingly complex …
