Multi-Robot Connected Fermat Spiral Coverage

1 code implementation20 Mar 2024 Jingtao Tang, Hang Ma

We introduce the Multi-Robot Connected Fermat Spiral (MCFS), a novel algorithmic framework for Multi-Robot Coverage Path Planning (MCPP) that adapts Connected Fermat Spiral (CFS) from the computer graphics community to multi-robot coordination for the first time.

Large-Scale Multi-Robot Coverage Path Planning via Local Search

1 code implementation17 Dec 2023 Jingtao Tang, Hang Ma

Existing graph-based MCPP algorithms first compute a tree cover on $G$ -- a forest of multiple trees that cover all vertices -- and then employ the Spanning Tree Coverage (STC) paradigm to generate coverage paths on the decomposed graph $D$ of the terrain graph $G$ by circumnavigating the edges of the computed trees, aiming to optimize the makespan (i. e., the maximum coverage path cost among all robots).

SACHA: Soft Actor-Critic with Heuristic-Based Attention for Partially Observable Multi-Agent Path Finding

1 code implementation5 Jul 2023 Qiushi Lin, Hang Ma

To tackle this challenge, we propose a multi-agent actor-critic method called Soft Actor-Critic with Heuristic-Based Attention (SACHA), which employs novel heuristic-based attention mechanisms for both the actors and critics to encourage cooperation among agents.

Graph-Based Multi-Robot Path Finding and Planning

no code implementations22 Jun 2022 Hang Ma

Many variants of MAPF have been formalized to adapt MAPF techniques to different real-world requirements, such as considerations of robot kinematics, online optimization for real-time systems, and the integration of task assignment and path planning.

A Competitive Analysis of Online Multi-Agent Path Finding

no code implementations22 Jun 2021 Hang Ma

We then show a counter-intuitive result that, if rerouting of previously-revealed agents is not allowed, any rational online MAPF algorithms, including ones that plan optimal paths for all newly-revealed agents, have the same asymptotic competitive ratio as the naive algorithm, even on 2D 4-neighbor grids.

Idle Time Optimization for Target Assignment and Path Finding in Sortation Centers

no code implementations30 Nov 2019 Ngai Meng Kou, Cheng Peng, Hang Ma, T. K. Satish Kumar, Sven Koenig

In this paper, we study the one-shot and lifelong versions of the Target Assignment and Path Finding problem in automated sortation centers, where each agent needs to constantly assign itself a sorting station, move to its assigned station without colliding with obstacles or other agents, wait in the queue of that station to obtain a parcel for delivery, and then deliver the parcel to a sorting bin.

Multi-Agent Pathfinding: Definitions, Variants, and Benchmarks

1 code implementation19 Jun 2019 Roni Stern, Nathan Sturtevant, Ariel Felner, Sven Koenig, Hang Ma, Thayne Walker, Jiaoyang Li, Dor Atzmon, Liron Cohen, T. K. Satish Kumar, Eli Boyarski, Roman Bartak

The MAPF problem is the fundamental problem of planning paths for multiple agents, where the key constraint is that the agents will be able to follow these paths concurrently without colliding with each other.

For example, we demonstrate that it can compute paths for hundreds of agents and thousands of tasks in seconds and is more efficient and effective than existing MAPD algorithms that use a post-processing step to adapt their paths to continuous agent movements with given velocities.

Several recently developed Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) solvers scale to large MAPF instances by searching for MAPF plans on 2 levels: The high-level search resolves collisions between agents, and the low-level search plans paths for single agents under the constraints imposed by the high-level search.
