Active Exploitation of Redundancies in Reconfigurable Multi-Robot Systems
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Multi-robot operations can benefit from this flexibility by actively managing system redundancies depending on current tasks and having more options to respond to failure events. ...
While traditional robotic systems come with a monolithic system design, reconfigurable multi-robot systems can share and shift physical resources in an on-demand fashion. ...
We use the following definitions to separate the current (realized and physically assembled) set of general agents in a coalition structure from the (virtual) set of agents, which can be formed from the ...

Complexity of coalition structure generation
[article]
2011
arXiv
pre-print
We revisit the coalition structure generation problem in which the goal is to partition the players into exhaustive and disjoint coalitions so as to maximize the social welfare. ...
One of our key results is a general polynomial-time algorithm to solve the problem for all coalitional games provided that player types are known and the number of player types is bounded by a constant ...
