A taxonomy for task allocation problems with temporal and ordering constraints

E Nunes, M Manner, H Mitiche, M Gini - Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 2017 - Elsevier
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 …

Solving hybrid charging strategy electric vehicle based dynamic routing problem via evolutionary multi-objective optimization

Z Wang, K Ye, M Jiang, J Yao, NN ** for stochastic mission monitoring
G Best, W Martens, R Fitch - IEEE Transactions on Robotics, 2017 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider an optimal stop** formulation of the mission monitoring problem, in which a
monitor vehicle must remain in close proximity to an autonomous robot that stochastically …

Decentralized allocation of tasks with temporal and precedence constraints to a team of robots

E Nunes, M McIntire, M Gini - 2016 IEEE International …, 2016 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We propose an auction-based method for a team of robots to allocate and execute tasks that
have temporal and precedence constraints. The robots use our priority-based iterated …

An application oriented multi-agent based approach to dynamic load/truck planning

A Baykasoğlu, V Kaplanoğlu - Expert Systems with Applications, 2015 - Elsevier
Truck operations decisions for transportation logistics pose challenges especially when
loads are less-than-truckload (LTL). Within a dynamic business environment load planners …
