Multi-agent receding horizon search with terminal cost

B Biggs, J McMahon, P Baldoni… - 2021 IEEE International …, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We present a multi-agent approach to receding horizon path planning that utilizes terminal
costs. We show that the value of the receding horizon paths produced using the proposed …
