Solving Multi-Agent Target Assignment and Path Finding with a Single Constraint Tree

2023-07-02 · Yimin Tang, Zhongqiang Ren, Jiaoyang Li, Katia Sycara

Combined Target-Assignment and Path-Finding problem (TAPF) requires simultaneously assigning targets to agents and planning collision-free paths for agents from their start locations to their assigned targets. As a leading approach to address TAPF, Conflict-Based Search with Target Assignment (CBS-TA) leverages both K-best target assignments to create multiple search trees and Conflict-Based Search (CBS) to resolve collisions in each search tree. While being able to find an optimal solution, CBS-TA suffers from scalability due to the duplicated collision resolution in multiple trees and the expensive computation of K-best assignments. We therefore develop Incremental Target Assignment CBS (ITA-CBS) to bypass these two computational bottlenecks. ITA-CBS generates only a single search tree and avoids computing K-best assignments by incrementally computing new 1-best assignments during the search. We show that, in theory, ITA-CBS is guaranteed to find an optimal solution and, in practice, is computationally efficient.

Alternating Target-Path Planning for Scalable Multi-Agent Coordination

2026-05-08 · Yu Kumagai, Keisuke Okumura arxiv

The concurrent target assignment and pathfinding (TAPF) problem extends multi-agent pathfinding (MAPF) by asking planners to allocate distinct targets and collision-free paths to agents. Prior work on TAPF has relied exc…

Solving Multi-Agent Multi-Goal Path Finding Problems in Polynomial Time

2025-12-17 · Stefan Edelkamp arxiv

In this paper, we plan missions for a fleet of agents in undirected graphs, such as grids, with multiple goals. In contrast to regular multi-agent path-finding, the solver finds and updates the assignment of goals to the…

Multi-Agent Target Assignment and Path Finding for Intelligent Warehouse: A Cooperative Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning Perspective
