This paper introduces the correlated arc orienteering problem (CAOP), where the task is to find routes for a team of robots to maximize the collection of rewards associated with features in the environment. These features can be…
In many unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications for surveillance and data collection, it is not possible to reach all requested locations due to the given maximum flight time. Hence, the requested locations must be prioritized and the…
This paper introduces an extension to the Orienteering Problem (OP), called Clustered Orienteering Problem with Subgroups (COPS). In this variant, nodes are arranged into subgroups, and the subgroups are organized into clusters. A reward is…
The Orienteering Problem (OP) is a well-studied routing problem that has been extended to incorporate uncertainties, reflecting stochastic or dynamic travel costs, prize-collection costs, and prizes. Existing approaches may, however, be…
Combinatorial optimization problems (COPs) are an important research topic in various fields. In recent times, there have been many attempts to solve COPs using deep learning-based approaches. We propose a novel neural network model that…
Many municipalities and large organizations have fleets of vehicles that need to be coordinated for tasks such as garbage collection or infrastructure inspection. Motivated by this need, this paper focuses on the common subproblem in which…
We introduce and study the problem in which a mobile sensing robot (our tourist) is tasked to travel among and gather intelligence at a set of spatially distributed point-of-interests (POIs). The quality of the information collected at each…
In this paper, we consider the Constant-cost Orienteering Problem (COP) where a robot, constrained by a limited travel budget, aims at selecting a path with the largest reward in an aisle-graph. The aisle-graph consists of a set of loosely…
We consider an orienteering problem (OP) where an agent needs to visit a series (possibly a subset) of depots, from which the maximal accumulated profits are desired within given limited time budget. Different from most existing works where…
Orienteering problems (OPs) are a variant of the well-known prize-collecting traveling salesman problem, where the salesman needs to choose a subset of cities to visit within a given deadline. OPs and their extensions with stochastic travel…
The Team Orienteering Problem (TOP) is an attractive variant of the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP). The aim is to select customers and at the same time organize the visits for a vehicle fleet so as to maximize the collected profits and…
Optimal transport (OT) is a powerful geometric and probabilistic tool for finding correspondences and measuring similarity between two distributions. Yet, its original formulation relies on the existence of a cost function between the…
Mobile robotic platforms are an indispensable tool for various scientific and industrial applications. Robots are used to undertake missions whose execution is constrained by various factors, such as the allocated time or their remaining…
Relevant combinatorial optimization problems (COPs) are often NP-hard. While they have been tackled mainly via handcrafted heuristics in the past, advances in neural networks have motivated the development of general methods to learn…
The quadratic traveling salesperson problem (QTSP) is a generalization of the traveling salesperson problem, in which all triples of consecutive customers in a tour determine the travel cost. We propose compact optimization models for QTSP…
This paper studies the problem of steering a linear time-invariant system subject to state and input constraints towards a goal location that may be inferred only through partial observations. We assume mixed-observable settings, where the…
We present a physics inspired heuristic method for solving combinatorial optimization problems. Our approach is specifically motivated by the desire to avoid trapping in metastable local minima- a common occurrence in hard problems with…
In this research, we aim to answer the question: How to combine Closed-Loop State and Input Sensitivity-based with Observability-aware trajectory planning? These possibly opposite optimization objectives can be used to improve trajectory…
The Team Orienteering Problem with Service Times and Mandatory & Incompatible Nodes (TOP-ST-MIN) is a variant of the classic Team Orienteering Problem (TOP), which includes three novel features that stem from two real-world problems…
The orienteering problem (OP) is a combinatorial optimization problem that seeks a path visiting a subset of locations to maximize collected rewards under a limited resource budget. This article presents a systematic PRISMA-based review of…
