Task Assignment

Distributed and Dynamic Task Assignment IN CAMERA NETWORKS

Tag your target and don't let it out of your sight!! Cooperative observation of multiple moving objectives requires for each robot to constantly re-decide to whom it should observe. This should be done ensuring that all objectives are perceived at all times, but local communications and the highly dynamic nature of everybody's motion makes this task assignment problem particularly difficult. In the team we have been able to devise robust and computationally light distributed algorithms that efficiently solve dynamic task assignment problems.
