Multi-robot task allocation with energetic, spatial and temporal constraints. Zitouni, F., Maamri, R., & Zitouni, A. International Journal of Artificial Intelligence, 17(1):102–138, 2019. Type: article
abstract   bibtex   
The Multi-Robot Task Allocation problem is the situation where some tasks and robots are given, then assignments between them must be found in order to optimize a certain measure (e.g. allocate the maximum number of tasks, etc.). We propose a generic framework to address heavily constrained MRTA problems. Some objective functions are proposed and extensively tested on ten datasets, which is our main contribution. Also, two allocation methods - exact and heuristic - are implemented, in order to compare values of adopted evaluation metrics. Performed simulations, obtained results, and comparative study show the effectiveness of the solution, even with a large number of robots and tasks.
