Dispersive Tree Agreements for Multi-Robot Coordination

Shashank A. Deshpande, Blake T. Edwards, Jonathan P. How

Multi-robot coordination of nonlinear systems is naturally formulated as joint-space optimal control subject to constraints over groups of robots. Existing methods that approach jo…

Dispersive Forward Tree Search for Optimal Control: Coverage, Complexity, and Computation

Shashank A. Deshpande, Jonathan P. How

Steering-based planners require solutions to state-to-state boundary value problems, which can be inaccessible for nonlinear platforms. Forward propagation evades the steering requ…

Beyond Bayesian Nash: Learning Minimax-Regret Equilibria for Adversarial Team Games under Asymmetric Information

Naman Aggarwal, Jonathan P. How

Adversarial team games (ATGs) with asymmetric information, such as adversarial path-finding, goal search, and reachability games on graphs, require strategies that are robust to hi…
