摘要

En 中文
This article addresses a generalization problem of multiagent pathfinding (MAPF), called collaborative task sequencing—MAPF (CTS-MAPF), where agents must plan collision-free paths and visit a series of intermediate task locations in an optimized order before reaching their final destinations. To address this problem, we propose a new approach, collaborative task sequencing—conflict-based search (CTS-CBS), which conducts a two-level search. At the high level, it generates a search forest, where each tree corresponds to a joint task sequence derived from the joint-traveling salesman problem (jTSP) solution. At the low level, CTS-CBS performs constrained single-agent path planning to generate paths for each agent while adhering to high-level constraints. Furthermore, we integrate explicit estimation search (EES) into CTS-CBS to enhance the search efficiency. We also provide theoretical guarantees of its solution completeness and optimality (or suboptimality with a bounded parameter). To evaluate the performance of CTS-CBS, we utilize three datasets with different map sizes, map difficulty, and agent/task numbers, and conduct comprehensive experiments. The results show that our algorithms demonstrate significant improvements in success rate and runtime, while maintaining competitive solution quality. Finally, practical robot simulation and tests demonstrate the algorithm’s applicability in real-world scenarios.
