Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• This work addresses the lifelong multi-agent task allocation (LMATA) problem, enabling task allocation in continuous, real-time environments in real-world application. • We propose elastic graph coloring memetic algorithm (EGAMA), a novel algorithm that incorporate backbone-based crossover, Kempe mutation and conflict-resolving local search for efficient agent-task assignments. • Extensive experiments demonstrate that EGCMA achieves a 62.15% reduction in task cycle time, outperforming current state-of-the-art methods across diverse task allocation scenarios.
