In container terminal yards, the Container Rehandling Problem (CRP) involves rearranging containers between stacks under specific operational rules, and it is a pivotal optimization challenge in intelligent container scheduling systems.…
Planning collision-free paths for multi-robot systems (MRS) is a challenging problem because of the safety and efficiency constraints required for real-world solutions. Even though coupled path planning approaches provide optimal…
We consider the problem of feature detection in the presence of clutter in spatial point processes. Classification methods have been developed in previous studies. Among these, Byers and Raftery (1998) models the observed Kth nearest…
Motion planning in high-dimensional space is a challenging task. In order to perform dexterous manipulation in an unstructured environment, a robot with many degrees of freedom is usually necessary, which also complicates its motion…
In this work, we address a task allocation problem for human multi-robot settings. Given a set of tasks to perform, we formulate a general Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) problem aiming at minimizing the overall execution time while…
This paper presents a novel algorithm, called MRRT, which uses multiple rapidly-exploring random trees for fast online replanning of autonomous vehicles in dynamic environments with moving obstacles. The proposed algorithm is built upon the…
We present optimal motion planning algorithms which can be used in designing practical systems controlling objects moving in Euclidean space without collisions. Our algorithms are optimal in a very concrete sense, namely, they have the…
Efficient tabletop rearrangement planning seeks to find high-quality solutions while minimizing total cost. However, the task is challenging due to object dependencies and limited buffer space for temporary placements. The complexity…
Robots will bring search and rescue (SaR) in disaster response to another level, in case they can autonomously take over dangerous SaR tasks from humans. A main challenge for autonomous SaR robots is to safely navigate in cluttered…
Object rearrangement in a multi-room setup should produce a reasonable plan that reduces the agent's overall travel and the number of steps. Recent state-of-the-art methods fail to produce such plans because they rely on explicit…
Mobile robots hold great promise in reducing the need for humans to perform jobs such as vacuuming, seeding,harvesting, painting, search and rescue, and inspection. In practice, these tasks must often be done without an exact map of the…
Two variants of multi-robot search for a stationary object in a priori known environment represented by a graph are studied in the paper. The first one is a generalization of the Traveling Deliveryman Problem where more than one deliveryman…
In real life, mostly problems are dynamic. Many algorithms have been proposed to handle the static problems, but these algorithms do not handle or poorly handle the dynamic environment problems. Although, many algorithms have been proposed…
Many exciting robotic applications require multiple robots with many degrees of freedom, such as manipulators, to coordinate their motion in a shared workspace. Discovering high-quality paths in such scenarios can be achieved, in principle,…
This paper presents a method for constrained motion planning from vision, which enables a robot to move its end-effector over an observed surface, given start and destination points. The robot has no prior knowledge of the surface shape,…
Motion planning for multi-jointed robots is challenging. Due to the inherent complexity of the problem, most existing works decompose motion planning as easier subproblems. However, because of the inconsistent performance metrics, only…
The Container Relocation Problem (CRP) is concerned with finding a sequence of moves of containers that minimizes the number of relocations needed to retrieve all containers respecting a given order of retrieval. While the problem is known…
We present an approach to task scheduling in heterogeneous multi-robot systems. In our setting, the tasks to complete require diverse skills. We assume that each robot is multi-skilled, i.e., each robot offers a subset of the possible…
This work presents an efficient and implementable solution to the problem of joint task allocation and path planning in a multi-UAV platform deployed for biometric data collection in-the-wild. The sensing requirement associated with the…
In this paper we study a multi-robot path planning problem for persistent monitoring of an environment. We represent the areas to be monitored as the vertices of a weighted graph. For each vertex, there is a constraint on the maximum time…
