Efficient SAT approach to multi-agent path finding under the sum of costs objective

P Surynek, A Felner, R Stern, E Boyarski - ECAI 2016, 2016 - ebooks.iospress.nl
In the multi-agent path finding (MAPF) the task is to find non-conflicting paths for multiple
agents. In this paper we present the first SAT-solver for the sum-of-costs variant of MAPF …

Optimal target assignment and path finding for teams of agents
