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 …

Abstract Purpose of Review Deploying a team of robots that can carefully coordinate their
actions can make the entire system robust to individual failures. In this report, we review …

Multiple solutions are often needed because of different kinds of uncertain failures in a plan
execution process and scenarios for which precise mathematical models and constraints are …

We provide a framework for the assignment of multiple robots to goal locations, when robot
travel times are uncertain. Our premise is that time is the most valuable asset in the system …

Tasks in the real world are complex and often require multiple robots to collaborate to be
serviced. In many cases, a task might require different sensory inputs and actuation outputs …

Efficacy of the multi-robot systems depends on proper sequencing and optimal allocation of
robots to the tasks. Focuses on deciding the optimal allocation of set-of-robots to a set-of …

We study the consideration of fairness in redundant assignment for multi-agent task
allocation. It has recently been shown that redundant assignment of agents to tasks provides …

This article considers the problem of assigning mobile robots to goals on transport networks
with uncertain and potentially correlated information about travel times. Our aim is to …

Multi-robot task allocation is a practical way to identify synergies between robots. When all
the robots within a system fall under the auspices and authority of a single organization, they …

Robot swarms usually work in uncertain and unstructured environments. It is challenging to
control the robot swarm to accomplish multiple tasks in the shortest possible time when the …
