M3RS: Multi‐Robot, Multi‐Objective, and Multi‐Mode Routing and Scheduling

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
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,
