In our setting, agents can detect neighboring crashed agents, and change followed paths at runtime. The objective is then to prepare a set of paths and switching rules for each agent, ensuring that all correct agents reach their destinations without collisions or deadlocks, despite unforeseen crashes of other agents. Such planning is attractive to build reliable multi-robot systems. We present problem formalization, theoretical analysis such as computational complexities, and how to solve this offline planning problem.}, number={10}, journal={Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence}, author={Okumura, Keisuke and Tixeuil, Sébastien}, year={2023}, month={Jun.}, pages={11647-11654} }
