Effective task allocation is an essential component to the coordination of heterogeneous robots. This paper proposes a hybrid task allocation algorithm that improves upon given initial solutions, for example from the popular decentralized market-based allocation algorithm, via a derivative-free opti…
Leveraging both the autonomy of robots and the expert knowledge of humans can enable a multi-robot system to complete missions in challenging environments with a high degree of adaptivity and robustness. This paper proposes a multi-modal task-based graphical user interface for controlling a heteroge…
When disagreements arise in hierarchical relationships, relationship members sometimes prefer conflict management strategies that avoid or quickly end the overt conflict even if the relationship is left in a state of dissatisfaction. Our lab has proposed that a peripheral robotic agent may be able t…
