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 …

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 …

In this chapter, I review research involving remote human supervision of multiple unmanned
vehicles (UVs) using command complexity as an organizing construct. Multi-UV tasks range …

We consider the multi-robot task scheduling problem with precedence constraints, and
introduce a general algorithm to approximate a solution to this problem. Our algorithm …

The complexity of modern computer networks and systems, combined with the extremely
dynamic environments in which they operate, is beginning to outpace our ability to manage …

There is little or no guidance to systematically design a self-organising emergent solution
that achieves the desired macroscopic behaviour. This paper describes decentralised …

Research addressing the influence of happy mood on self‐focused attention has yielded
inconsistent results. Some studies found that happy mood decreased self‐focus relative to …

As robots become ubiquitous in the workforce, it is essential that human-robot collaboration
be both intuitive and adaptive. A robot's ability to coordinate team activities improves based …

We propose coordination mechanisms for multiple heterogeneous physical agents that
operate in city‐scale disaster scenarios, where they need to find and rescue people and …

The dangerous and time sensitive nature of a disaster area makes it an ideal application for
robotic exploration. Our long term goal is to enable humans, software agents, and …
