Scalable Multi-Agent Maze Traversal with Local Communication
Julian Rau, Jahir Argote-Gerald, Grace McFassel +3
Cave networks, pipe systems, and similar maze-like environments pose significant challenges for multi-agent navigation in unknown settings with limited communication. We propose a…
Split over resource sharing problem: Are fewer capable agents better than many simpler ones?
Karthik Soma, Mohamed S. Talamali, Genki Miyauchi +3
In multi-agent systems, should limited resources be concentrated into a few capable agents or distributed among many simpler ones? This work formulates the split over resource…
Warmth and Competence in the Swarm: Designing Effective Human-Robot Teams
Genki Miyauchi, Roderich GroÃ, Chaona Chen
As groups of robots increasingly collaborate with humans, understanding how humans perceive them is critical for designing effective human-robot teams. While prior research examine…
Design for One, Deploy for Many: Navigating Tree Mazes with Multiple Agents
Jahir Argote-Gerald, Genki Miyauchi, Julian Rau +2
Maze-like environments, such as cave and pipe networks, pose unique challenges for multiple robots to coordinate, including communication constraints and congestion. To address the…
Ready, Bid, Go! On-Demand Delivery Using Fleets of Drones with Unknown, Heterogeneous Energy Storage Constraints
Mohamed S. Talamali, Genki Miyauchi, Thomas Watteyne +2
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are expected to transform logistics, reducing delivery time, costs, and emissions. This study addresses an on-demand delivery , in which fleets of U…
On the Benefits of Robot Platooning for Navigating Crowded Environments
Jahir Argote-Gerald, Genki Miyauchi, Paul Trodden +1
This paper studies how groups of robots can effectively navigate through a crowd of agents. It quantifies the performance of platooning and less constrained, greedy strategies, and…
