Funded Activity Summary

Constraint-based Reasoning for Multi-agent Pathfinding. Automation is a transformative technology for logistics -- using robots to manipulate inventory allows warehouses to be more efficient, and larger-scale, than ever before. But doing this in practice requires efficient, reliable methods for coordinating ever-larger fleets of robots. These problems are extremely difficult, and current approaches either scale poorly or give weak or no guarantees on solution quality. The project will develop transformative approaches to multi-agent pathfinding which can handle industrial size problems, and handle all of the complications that arise in practical applications. This will deliver improved cost-effectiveness and productivity to automated warehouse logistics and other agent coordination problems.
