The emergence of the Internet of things and the widespread deployment of diverse
computing systems have led to the formation of heterogeneous multi-agent systems (MAS) …

Autonomous robots are increasingly served in real-world unstructured human environments
with complex long-horizon tasks, such as restaurant serving and office delivery. Task and …

Abstract The Multi-Agent Path Finding problem aims to find a set of collision-free paths that
minimizes the total cost of all paths. The problem is extensively studied in artificial …

Recent years have shown a large increase in applications and research of problems that
include moving a fleet of physical robots. One particular application that is currently a multi …

Robustness is key to engineering, automation, and science as a whole. However, the
property of robustness is often underpinned by costly requirements such as over …

The deployment of a fleet of autonomous marine vehicles (AMVs) allows for the
parallelisation of missions, intervehicle support for longer deployment times, adaptability …

This paper considers the task allocation problems in a distributed multi-robot system under
critical time constraints. Considering the requirement of distributed computing, many existing …

Robust motion planning is a well-studied problem in the robotics literature, yet current
algorithms struggle to operate scalably and safely in the presence of other moving agents …

Effective deployment of multi-robot teams requires solving several interdependent problems
at varying levels of abstraction. Specifically, heterogeneous multi-robot systems must …

The use of narrative generation methods in games is a complex challenge that involves
multiple problems of plot-based processes integrated with character-based methods …
