Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) form a large and important part of the logistic transport
systems in today's industry. They are used on a large scale, especially in Europe, for over a …

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 …

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

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 proposes a resource-based task allocation algorithm for multi-robot systems.
During mission operations, robots continuously consume their resources which must be …

Robotics technology has recently matured sufficiently to deploy autonomous robotic systems
for daily use in several applications: from disaster response to environmental monitoring and …

Abstract Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) form a large and important part of the logistics
transportation systems in today's industry and are widely used, especially in Europe. Today's …

Given a set of agents, the multi-agent pathfinding problem consists in determining, for each
agent, a path from its start location to its assigned goal while avoiding collisions with other …

Environmental exploration is one of the common tasks in the robotic domain which is also
known as foraging. In comparison with the typical foraging tasks, our work focuses on the …

Various ambient assisted living (AAL) technologies have been proposed for improving the
living conditions of elderly people. One of them is to introduce robots to reduce dependency …
