Self-Organization in Sensor and Actor Networks explores self-organization mechanisms and
methodologies concerning the efficient coordination between intercommunicating …

In order for a team of autonomous robots to perform a complex mission effectively, an
efficient assignment of tasks to robots must be determined. Existing multirobot task allocation …

Much work on coalition formation and maintenance exists from the standpoint of abstract
agents. This has not yet translated well to robot teams, however: most multi-robot research …

While unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are extensively used for data collection in the
construction industry, currently, no comprehensive quantitative method measures the …

In security defense tasks, multiple robots need work cooperatively to detect offensive
intrusion to protect some sensitive areas. In this paper, we propose a distributed algorithm …

This paper describes the task management elements of a framework for coordinating a
changing collection of heterogeneous robots operating in complex and dynamic …

In this paper, a communication-efficient dynamic task scheduling algorithm for a
heterogeneous multi-robot system is proposed. To make this task scheduling algorithm to be …

OMG (Object Management Group) DDS (Data Distribution Service for Real-time Systems) is
an open international communication middleware standard for real-time and embedded …

Multiagent task assignment problem descriptors do not fully represent the complex
interactions in a multiagent domain, and algorithmic solutions vary widely depending on …

We define a novel algorithm based on utility functions for dynamically allocating tasks to
mobile robots in a multi-robot system. The algorithm attempts to maximize the performance …
