In this paper, we give a double twist to the problem of planning under uncertainty. State-of-the-art planners seek to minimize the localization uncertainty by only considering the geometric structure of the scene. In this paper, we argue…
We consider the problem of dynamically allocating tasks to multiple agents under time window constraints and task completion uncertainty. Our objective is to minimize the number of unsuccessful tasks at the end of the operation horizon. We…
At present, in most warehouse environments, the accumulation of goods is complex, and the management personnel in the control of goods at the same time with the warehouse mobile robot trajectory interaction, the traditional mobile robot can…
In robotics, coordinating a group of robots is an essential task. This work presents the communication-constrained multi-agent multi-goal path planning problem and proposes a graph-search based algorithm to address this task. Given a fleet…

Path Planning and target searching in a three-dimensional environment is a challenging task in the field of robotics. It is an optimization problem as the path from source to destination has to be optimal. This paper aims to generate a…
For rapid growth in technology and automation, human tasks are being taken over by robots as robots have proven to be better with both speed and precision. One of the major and widespread usages of these robots is in the industrial…
This paper explores general multi-robot task and motion planning, where multiple robots in close proximity manipulate objects while satisfying constraints and a given goal. In particular, we formulate the plan refinement problem--which,…
We consider a system consisting of multiple mobile robots in which the user can at any time issue relocation tasks ordering one of the robots to move from its current location to a given destination location. In this paper, we deal with the…
In order for a robot to perform a task, several algorithms need to be executed, sometimes, simultaneously. Algorithms can be run either on the robot itself or, upon request, be performed on cloud infrastructure. The term cloud…
We study the problem of deploying a fleet of mobile robots to service tasks that arrive stochastically over time and at random locations in an environment. This is known as the Dynamic Vehicle Routing Problem (DVRP) and requires robots to…
Coverage path planning is a well-studied problem in robotics in which a robot must plan a path that passes through every point in a given area repeatedly, usually with a uniform frequency. To address the scenario in which some points need…
Robotic systems are routinely used in the logistics industry to enhance operational efficiency, but the design of robot workspaces remains a complex and manual task, which limits the system's flexibility to changing demands. This paper aims…
We investigate a location-allocation-routing problem where trucks deliver goods from a central production facility to a set of warehouses with fixed locations and known demands. Due to limited capacities congestion occurs and results in…
Autonomous multi-robot optical inspection systems are increasingly applied for obtaining inline measurements in process monitoring and quality control. Numerous methods for path planning and robotic coordination have been developed for…
A robotic network is a system with multiple robots connected by a communication network. Certain tasks that cannot be accomplished with available robotic resources are candidates for the use of cloud robotics, which overcomes the…
Accurate estimation of order fulfillment time is critical for e-commerce logistics, yet traditional rule-based approaches often fail to capture the inherent uncertainties in delivery operations. This paper introduces a novel framework for…
Achieving long-term autonomy for mobile robots operating in real-world unstructured environments such as farms remains a significant challenge. This is made increasingly complex in the presence of moving humans or livestock. These…
In this paper, we deal with the problem of full-body path planning for walking robots. The state of walking robots is defined in multi-dimensional space. Path planning requires defining the path of the feet and the robot's body. Moreover,…
Assistive robots operating in household environments would require items to be available in the house to perform assistive tasks. However, when these items run out, the assistive robot must remind its user to buy the missing items. In this…
