Task Allocation Using a Team of Robots

Abstract Purpose of Review Task allocation using a team or coalition robots is one the most important problems in robotics, computer science, operational research, and artificial intelligence. We present survey multi-robot task covering many problem variants solution approaches, both centralized decentralized. Recent Findings In recent work, research has focused on handling complex objectives feasibility constraints amongst other variations problem. There are examples progress these directions, which captured this survey, along with similar for various solutions that have been developed to solve such problems. Summary first general formulation generalizes several versions well-studied. Our includes states robots, tasks, surrounding environment they operate, we describe how can be varied depending constraints, objective functions, level dynamically changing information. addition, discuss existing approaches including optimization-based market-based approaches.
