A Critical Review of Communications in Multi-robot Systems. [PDF]
Abstract Purpose of Review This review summarizes the broad roles that communication formats and technologies have played in enabling multi-robot systems. We approach this field from two perspectives: of robotic applications that need communication capabilities in order to accomplish tasks, and of networking technologies

Combining Task and Motion Planning: Challenges and Guidelines
Combined Task and Motion Planning (TAMP) is an area where no one-fits-all solution can exist. Many aspects of the domain, as well as operational requirements, have an effect on how algorithms and representations are designed.

A Plan Manager for Multi-robot Systems [PDF]
This paper presents a software component, the plan manager, which provides the services needed to build and execute plans in a multirobot context. This plan manager handles fully dynamic plans (insertion and removal of tasks), provides tools for safe concurrent execution and modification of plans, and handles distributed plan supervision without ...

A Multi-Robot Warehouse System: An Exemplar
Abstract: The complexity of modelling and designing cyber-physical systems arises due to their heterogeneous components and the need to explicitly model the features of interest for these components from different points of view. To support the modelling of these complex systems, multi-paradigm modelling advocates explicitly modelling every part of a ...
