A coalition as a group of agents aims to work jointly to earn much more gains as a result of
their cooperation. Many existing studies assumed that members take advantage of joining …

This paper reviews the literature related to multi-robot research with a focus on space
applications. It starts by examining definitions of, and some of the fields of research, in multi …

We present a scalable approach to dynamically allocating a swarm of homogeneous robots
to multiple tasks, which are to be performed in parallel, following a desired distribution. We …

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 …

We present empirical results of an auction-based algorithm for dynamic allocation of tasks to
robots. The results have been obtained both in simulation and using real robots. A distinctive …

The development of intelligent surveillance systems is an active research area. In this
context, mobile and multi-functional robots are generally adopted as means to reduce the …

Previous approaches to select agents to form a team rely on single-agent capabilities, and
team performance is treated as a sum of such known capabilities. Motivated by complex …

Continuous response threshold functions to coordinate collaborative tasks in multi-agent
systems are commonly employed models in a number of fields including ethology …

New market-based decentralized algorithms are proposed for the task assignment of
multiple unmanned aerial vehicles in dynamic environments with a limited communication …

In multi-agent systems (MAS), the coalition formation (CF) is an important problem focusing
on allocating agents to different tasks. In this paper, three specific CF problems are …
