We consider an off-line optimisation problem where $k$ robots must service $n$ requests on a single line. A request $i$ has weight $w_i$ and takes place at time $t_i$ at location $d_i$ on the line. A robot can service a request and collect…

It is natural to generalize the online $k$-Server problem by allowing each request to specify not only a point $p$, but also a subset $S$ of servers that may serve it. For uniform metrics, the problem is equivalent to a generalization of…
