Abstract
Researchers have proposed a distributed auction-based cooperation framework, distributed and efficient multirobot-cooperation framework (DEMiR-CF) to optimize naval mine countermeasure missions (MCM). (DEMiR-CF is an online dynamic task allocation system that aims to achieve a team goal while using resources effectively. DEMiR-CF can also respond to and recover from real-time contingencies such as communication failures, delays, range limitations, and robot failures with integrated task scheduling and execution capabilities. Researchers examine and report the performance of the framework against real-world difficulties encountered in multi-autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) coordination for the naval MCM obtained through several experiments on the US Navy's Autonomous Littoral Warfare Systems Evaluator-Monte Carlo (ALWSE-MC) simulator.
