Abstract Purpose of Review Task allocation using a team or coalition of robots is one of the
most important problems in robotics, computer science, operational research, and artificial …

A single robotic agent can perform cost-effective work in many domains, especially those
that are dirty, dangerous, or dull for humans. Forming multiagent teams of autonomous …

This paper presents an extension to a decentralized multi-UAV task allocation algorithm,
consensus-based bundle algorithm (CBBA), to improve the communication efficiency in the …

This paper addresses task assignment (TA) for multivehicle systems. Multivehicle TA
problems are formulated as a combinatorial optimization problem and further as a global …

Intelligent Autonomy of UAVs: Advanced Missions and Future Use provides an approach to
the formulation of the fundamental task typical to any mission and provides guidelines of …

RESOURCE allocation has been a fundamental challenge in the control society [1, 2], and
such resource allocation appears as many forms in different domains, such as multi-agent …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a distributed task allocation method for
cooperative mission planning of multiple heterogeneous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) …

For the large‐scale operations of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm and the large
number of UAVs, this paper proposes a two‐layer task and resource assignment algorithm …

One of the major challenges in the coordination of large, open, collaborative, and
commercial vehicle fleets is dynamic task allocation. Self‐concerned individually rational …

TASK allocation that assigns a set of tasks to agents is one of the crucial decisions in the
cooperative operation of a team of multiple unmanned vehicles in complex missions such as …
