Abstract

This paper explores general multi-robot task and motion planning, where multiplerobots in close proximity manipulate objects while satisfying constraints and agiven goal. In particular, we formulate the plan refinement problem—which, givena task plan, finds valid assignments of variables corresponding to solutiontrajectories—as a hybrid constraint satisfaction problem. The proposed algorithmfollows several design principles that yield the following features: (1)efficient solution finding due to sequential heuristics and implicit time androadmap representations, and (2) maximized feasible solution space obtained byintroducing minimally necessary coordination-induced constraints and not relyingon prevalent simplifications that exist in the literature. The evaluation resultsdemonstrate the planning efficiency of the proposed algorithm, outperforming thesynchronous approach in terms of makespan.
