Abstract(in English) This study proposes a distributed planning method with asynchronous execution for the multi-agent pick up and delivery (MAPD) problem in situations where fluctuations in the movement speeds exist. Many studies on MAPD problems have been conducted but usually assume specially designed environments with many detours for easy collision avoidance. In contrast, our study assumes an ad hoc environments, such as a construction site. Moreover, the robot’s movement speed may fluctuate due to weather and road surface conditions; thus, making them unable to proceed in the time as scheduled. These fluctuations significantly affect multi-agent systems, because a plan modification can cause other conflicts and may spread in a cascade. Our proposed method is suitable for more realistic MAPD problem in which agents’ actions are fluctuated and working locations are located flexibly. We experimentally confirmed that our method could be used in such environment without collisions nor deadlocks.
