Multi-Agent Path Finding under Limited Communication Range Constraint via Dynamic Leading
This paper proposes a novel framework to handle a multi-agent path finding problem under a limited communication range constraint, where all agents must have a connected communication channel to the rest of the team. Many existing approaches to multi-agent path finding (e.g., leader-follower platooning) overcome computational challenges of planning in this domain by planning one agent at a time in a fixed order. However, fixed leader-follower approaches can become stuck during planning, limiting their practical utility in dense-clutter environments. To overcome this limitation, we develop dynamic leading multi-agent path finding, which allows for dynamic reselection of the leading agent during path planning whenever progress cannot be made. The experiments show the efficiency of our framework, which can handle up to 25 agents with more than 90% success-rate across five environment types where baselines routinely fail.

On dynamic multi-agent pathfinding methods: review, simulations and modifications
This paper presents a systematic study of pathfinding algorithms in the context of Dynamic Multi-Agent Pathfinding (D-MAPF), a setting that combines dynamic obstacles, partial observability, and inter-agent conflicts. We…
Optimal and Bounded Suboptimal Any-Angle Multi-agent Pathfinding
Multi-agent pathfinding (MAPF) is the problem of finding a set of conflict-free paths for a set of agents. Typically, the agents' moves are limited to a pre-defined graph of possible locations and allowed transitions bet…
Cooperative Pathfinding based on memory-efficient Multi-agent RRT*
In cooperative pathfinding problems, no-conflicts paths that bring several agents from their start location to their destination need to be planned. This problem can be efficiently solved by Multi-agent RRT*(MA-RRT*) alg…
Loosely Synchronized Rule-Based Planning for Multi-Agent Path Finding with Asynchronous Actions
Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) seeks collision-free paths for multiple agents from their respective starting locations to their respective goal locations while minimizing path costs. Although many MAPF algorithms were d…
