Abstract

Auction-based and threshold-based are the prevalent approaches for multi-robot distributed task allocation problem. We study the performance of these two approaches under a multi-objective dynamic task allocation scenario. The fuzzy inference system (FIS) is used in the auction-based approach to convert the objectives into a representative bid value. Experiments reveal that FIS auction-based outperforms the adaptive threshold-based approach in terms of load balancing. In contrast, the adaptive threshold-based approach produces better results in terms of traveled distance. Moreover, both approaches can achieve the same quality satisfaction objective.
