In the last years, Multi-Robot Systems (MRS) have experienced considerable recognition
due to various possible real-world applications. Multi-Robot Task Allocation (MRTA) is …

Purpose This paper aims to present a concise review on the variant state-of-the-art dynamic
task allocation strategies. It presents a thorough discussion about the existing dynamic task …

Robustness is key to engineering, automation, and science as a whole. However, the
property of robustness is often underpinned by costly requirements such as over …

The application of robotics to traditionally manual manufacturing processes requires careful
coordination between human and robotic agents in order to support safe and efficient …

A human–robot hybrid cell is developed for flexible assembly in manufacturing through the
collaboration between a human and a robot. The selected task is to assemble a few LEGO …

This paper discusses how the state-of-the-art techniques in cyber-physical systems facilitate
building smart warehouses to achieve the promising vision of industry 4.0. We focus on four …

This paper tackles a class of multi-robot task allocation (MRTA) problems called “Single-
Task Robots and Single-Robot Tasks” or SR–ST problems, subject to the following …

In this letter, we study a cooperative aerial-ground robotic team and its application to the task
of automated construction. We propose a solution for planning and coordinating the mission …

Distributed optimization provides a framework for deriving distributed algorithms for a variety
of multi-robot problems. This tutorial constitutes the first part of a two-part series on …

In a multi-robot system, the appropriate allocation of the tasks to the individual robots is a
very significant component. The availability of a centralized infrastructure can guarantee an …
