DESCRIPTION:Abstract of the talk: Task allocation in a multi-robot system i
 s required to determine which robots should execute which tasks\, in order
  to achieve the overall system goals. Task allocation is an important aspe
 ct of many multi-robot systems\, which ensures coordinated team behaviour.
  In this talk\, we describe the features and complexity of multi-robot tas
 k allocation (MRTA) problems\, which are determined by the requirements of
  the particular domain. We illustrate how to classify these problems in a 
 systematic manner and show some real-life applications. We show a very gen
 eral formulation of the task allocation problem that generalizes several v
 ersions that are well-studied in the existing literature. Our formulation 
 includes the states of robots\, tasks\, and the surrounding environment in
  which they operate. We describe how the problem can be varied depending o
 n the feasibility constraints\, objective functions\, and the level of dyn
 amically changing information. We illustrate an algorithm to solve a parti
 cular variant of the MRTA problem and show how this algorithm performs bet
 ter than current state-of-the-art algorithms on real datasets. We conclude
  the talk with some directions for future research.\n\nCo-sponsored by: CS
