摘要
Multi-Robot Task Allocation (MRTA) addresses the problems related to an efficient job assignment in a team of robots. This paper expresses MRTA as a generalization of the Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem (MTSP) and utilizes evolutionary algorithms (EA) for optimal task assignment. The MTSP version of the problem is also solved using combinatorial optimization techniques and results are compared to demonstrate that EA can be effectively used for providing solutions to such problems.
