Abstract

This paper presents a set of formal descriptions to themulti-robot task allocation problem mainly focusing on thecapability category aspect. Both robot and task capability vectorsare defined. Based upon the these, both single and multi-robotcooperative task accomplishment conditions are discussed. Basedupon the capability category and task accomplishment condition, anovel combinatorial bids method followed with some discussions isproposed.
