On‐Time Meal Delivery Assisted by Drone Resupply
ABSTRACT Ensuring timely delivery is crucial with the increasing competition in online meal delivery services. This requires the industry to adopt new technologies and the corresponding operational models, including the use of drones. Concerning the desired features of meal delivery, such as safety and reliability, we propose an operational model that ...

ABSTRACT This paper presents the first end‐to‐end framework that combines guidance, navigation, and centralized task allocation for multiple UAVs performing autonomous search‐and‐rescue (SAR) in GNSS‐denied indoor environments. A twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient controller is trained with an artificial potential field (APF) reward that ...

M3RS: Multi‐Robot, Multi‐Objective, and Multi‐Mode Routing and Scheduling
ABSTRACT Task execution quality significantly impacts multi‐robot missions, yet existing task allocation frameworks rarely consider quality of service as a decision variable, despite its importance in applications like robotic disinfection and cleaning. We introduce the multi‐robot, multi‐objective, and multi‐mode routing and scheduling (M3RS) problem,

Optimization of structural assembly scheduling in the aeronautics industry
Abstract In the aeronautical industry, structural assembly refers to the stage in which parts, subassemblies, and main aircraft structures are fitted together, forming aerostructures. Aircraft structural assembly requires many complex activities to be performed over an intricate precedence network and is subject to interactions among the various ...
