In a world with rapidly growing levels of automation, robotics is playing an increasingly
significant role in every aspect of human endeavour. In particular, many types of mobile …

Market-based methods have received significant attention for solving the multi-robot task
allocation problem. They have been used in a variety of multi-robot scenarios, such as …

Previous work on assigning tasks to robots has proposed extensive categorizations of
allocation of tasks with and without constraints. The main contribution of this paper is a …

Using distributed task allocation methods for cooperating multivehicle systems is becoming
increasingly attractive. However, most effort is placed on various specific experimental work …

We consider the problem of multi-robot task allocation using auctions, and study how lossy
communication between the auctioneer and bidders affects solution quality. We demonstrate …

In this paper, we propose a distributed version of the Hungarian method to solve the well-
known assignment problem. In the context of multirobot applications, all robots cooperatively …

In this paper, we propose an iterative strategy to enhance the performance of task
assignment and path planning in applications of distributed multiple unmanned aerial …

This paper considers the problem of maximizing the number of task allocations in a
distributed multirobot system under strict time constraints, where other optimization …

We propose an auction algorithm to allocate tasks that have temporal constraints to
cooperative robots. Temporal constraints are expressed as time windows, within which a …

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 …
