Weekly maintenance scheduling using exact and genetic methods
Andrew W. Palmer, Robin Vujanic, Andrew J. Hill +1
The weekly maintenance schedule specifies when maintenance activities should be performed on the equipment, taking into account the availability of workers and maintenance bays, an…
Modelling resource contention in multi-robot task allocation problems with uncertain timing
Andrew W. Palmer, Andrew J. Hill, Steven J. Scheding
This paper proposes an analytical framework for modelling resource contention in multi-robot systems, where the travel times and task durations are uncertain. It uses several appro…
Applying Gaussian distributed constraints to Gaussian distributed variables
Andrew W. Palmer, Andrew J. Hill, Steven J. Scheding
This paper develops an analytical method of truncating inequality constrained Gaussian distributed variables where the constraints are themselves described by Gaussian distribution…
Stochastic Collection and Replenishment (SCAR) Optimisation for Persistent Autonomy
Andrew W. Palmer, Andrew J. Hill, Steven J. Scheding
Robots have a finite supply of resources such as fuel, battery charge, and storage space. The aim of the Stochastic Collection and Replenishment (SCAR) scenario is to use dedicated…
Stochastic Collection and Replenishment (SCAR): Objective Functions
Andrew W. Palmer, Andrew J. Hill, Steven J. Scheding
This paper introduces two objective functions for computing the expected cost in the Stochastic Collection and Replenishment (SCAR) scenario. In the SCAR scenario, multiple user ag…
Methods for Stochastic Collection and Replenishment (SCAR) optimisation for persistent autonomy
Andrew W. Palmer, Andrew J. Hill, Steven J. Scheding
Consideration of resources such as fuel, battery charge, and storage space, is a crucial requirement for the successful persistent operation of autonomous systems. The Stochastic C…
