Adaptive heterogeneous multi-robot collaboration from formal task specifications
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2021

Efficiently coordinating different types of robots is an important enabler for many commercial and industrial automation tasks. Here, we present a distributed framework that enables a team of heterogeneous robots to dynamically generate actions from a common, user-defined goal specification. In particular, we discuss the integration of various robotic capabilities into a common task allocation and planning formalism, as well as the specification of expressive, temporally-extended goals by non -expert users. Models for task allocation and execution both consider non-deterministic outcomes of actions and thus, are suitable for a wide range of real-world tasks including formally specified reactions to online observations. One main focus of our paper is to evaluate the framework and its integration of software modules through a number of experiments. These experiments comprise industry-inspired scenarios as motivated by future real-world applications. Finally, we discuss the results and learnings for motivating practically relevant, future research questions. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
