We present a method for mission and motion planning that applies to small teams of robots performing a task in an environment with moving obstacles, such as humans. Given a mission specification written in linear temporal logic, such as patrolling a set of Jav...

We consider the problem of dividing a territory into sub-regions so as to balance the workloads of a collection of facilities or vehicles over that territory. We assume that the territory is a connected polygonal region, i.e. a simply connected polygon containing a set of simply connected obstacles. The territory also contains a collection of facilities, represented by a set of n fixed points i...

Consider a group of mobile finite automata, referred to as agents, located in the origin of an infinite grid. The grid is occupied by obstacles, i.e., sets of cells that can not be entered by the agents. In every step, an agent can sense the states of the co-located agents and is allowed to move to any neighboring cell of the grid not blocked by an obstacle. We assume that the circumference of ...
