We propose a new formulation for the multi-robot task planning and allocation problem that
incorporates (a) precedence relationships between tasks;(b) coordination for tasks allowing …

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 …

In this article, we study multirobot task allocation problems where task costs vary. The
variation may be, for example, due to the revelation of new information or other dynamic …

Robots currently available in the market are somewhat limited in their capabilities, which
makes it difficult for a single robot to handle many real-world tasks that are inherently …

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

Despite more than a decade of experimental work in multi-robot systems, important
theoretical aspects of multi-robot coordination mechanisms have, to date, been largely …

Despite more than a decade of experimental work in multi-robot systems, important

We consider the problem of finding the optimal assignment of tasks to a team of robots when
the costs associated with the tasks may vary. This arises often because robots typically …

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

We address the problem of finding the optimal assignment of tasks to a team of robots when
the associated costs may vary, which arises when robots deal with uncertain or dynamic …
