In many environmental monitoring applications robots are often tasked to visit various distinct locations to make observations and/or collect specific measurements. The problem of scheduling and assigning robots to the various tasks and planning feasible paths for the robots can be posed as an Orienteering Problem (OP). In the standard OP, routing and scheduling is achieved by maximizing an object...
