SUMMARY:Block by Block: Collaborative Strategies for Multi-agent Robotic Construction
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, we explore the unique challenges and opportunities that multi-agent systems (MAS) present for push manipulation of loose materials for site preparation and prefabricated assembly. Specifically\, this workshop focuses on the planning and coordination of MAS for both push manipulation and modular assembly tasks\, with an emphasis on decentralized approaches. \nPush Manipulation: Many essential site preparation tasks are accessible to robots with general-purpose pushing tools. These tasks—such as mapping the material on the ground\, leveling the ground\, clearing debris\, and shaping loose materials like soil and gravel—are crucial before building can begin. This workshop will address the organization and coordination of MAS to carry out these tasks; by leveraging precise coordinated pushing actions\, robots will create a solid foundation for the construction process. \nModular construction: Modular construction\, where prefabricated units are assembled into larger structures\, offers a flexible\, scalable approach ideal for robotic systems. Coordinating a team of heterogeneous robots to efficiently execute these tasks requires sophisticated planning and scheduling algorithms. The workshop will address sequencing module placements and ensure seamless agent coordination\, utilizing bioinspired techniques and optimization strategies to enhance performance and scalability. \nThis workshop aims to equip participants with the knowledge and tools needed to advance the modular construction and site preparation field\, focusing on the latest state-of-the-art research. We emphasize the importance of formulating clear and impactful research questions\, as better questions lead to better research outcomes.
