This paper addresses task allocation to coordinate a fleet of autonomous vehicles by
presenting two decentralized algorithms: the consensus-based auction algorithm (CBAA) …

Advancements in robotic technology are making it increasingly possible to integrate robots
into the human workspace in order to improve productivity and decrease worker strain …

The use of unmanned aerial systems (UASs) in both the public and military environments is
predicted to grow significantly. As the demand for UASs grows, the availability of more …

Collaboration requires agents to coordinate their behavior on the fly, sometimes cooperating
to solve a single task together and other times dividing it up into sub‐tasks to work on in …

New uses of robotics in traditionally manual manufacturing processes require the careful
choreography of human and robotic agents to support safe and efficient coordinated work …

This paper analyzes task assignment for heterogeneous air vehicles using a guaranteed
conflict-free assignment algorithm, the Consensus Based Bundle Algorithm (CBBA). We …

This paper tackles strategic path planning for a multi-UAV routing problem in low altitude
urban environment, where GNSS coverage challenges typically affect navigation …

In multi-agent collaborative search missions, task allocation is required to determine which
agents will perform which tasks. We propose a new approach for decentralized task …

In this paper we propose a novel distributed algorithm to solve degenerate linear programs
on asynchronous peer-to-peer networks with distributed information structures. We propose …

This article provides a new decentralized approach to solve a perimeter defense problem
(PDP). In a typical PDP, many intruders try to enter a territory, and a group of defenders …
