A Distributed Approach to the Multi-Robot Task Allocation Problem Using the Consensus-Based Bundle Algorithm and Ant Colony System

We propose a distributed approach to solve the multi-robot task allocation problem. This problem consists of two distinct sets: robots and tasks. The objective is to assign tasks to robots while optimizing a given criterion. This problem is known to be NP-hard even with small numbers of robots and t...
