We introduce the multi-agent transportation (MAT) problem, where agents have to transport containers from their starting positions designated goal positions. Movement takes place in a common environment collisions between and must be avoided. In contrast other frameworks such as pathfinding (MAPF) or pickup delivery (MAPD), are allowed separate at any time, which can reduce makespan also allows...

We present a novel concept of heterogeneous, distributed platform for autonomous 3D construction. The is composed two types robots acting in coordinated and complementary fashion: (i) A collection communicating smart construction blocks behaving as form growable matter, capable planning monitoring their own state the progress; (ii) team inchworm-inspired builder designed to navigate modify stru...
