Trust-Aware Sequential Decision Making and Rollout Planning for Resilient Multi-Robot Systems
Roee M. Francos, Daniel Garces, Orhan Eren Akgün +2
Sequential decision-making in multi-robot systems typically assumes that planning information is reliable and that agents execute the actions anticipated by the planner. Compromise…
Operational Reliability of Deadline-Constrained Task Assignment: Stability Characterization and Adversarial Routing
Roee M. Francos, Daniel Garces, Orhan Eren Akgün +1
Automated task-assignment systems often serve stochastic tasks subject to finite deadlines. In these settings, conventional backlog-based stability can be misleading: finite task l…
Provably Stable Multi-Agent Routing with Bounded-Delay Adversaries in the Decision Loop
Roee M. Francos, Daniel Garces, Stephanie Gil
In this work, we are interested in studying multi-agent routing settings, where adversarial agents are part of the assignment and decision loop, degrading the performance of the fl…
Spiral Sweeping Search for Smart Evaders
Roee M. Francos, Alfred M. Bruckstein
Consider a given planar circular region, in which there is an unknown number of smart mobile evaders. We wish to detect evaders using a line formation of sweeping agents whose tota…
Guaranteed Evader Detection in Multi-Agent Search Tasks using Pincer Trajectories
Roee M. Francos, Alfred M. Bruckstein
Assume that inside an initial planar area there are smart mobile evaders attempting to avoid detection by a team of sweeping searching agents. All sweepers detect evaders with fan-…
Search for Smart Evaders with Swarms of Sweeping Agents
Roee M. Francos, Alfred M. Bruckstein
Suppose that in a given planar circular region, there are some smart mobile evaders and we would like to find them using sweeping agents. We assume that each agent has a line senso…
