Environment Optimization for Multi-Agent Navigation

Zhan Gao,Amanda Prorok,Zhan Gao,Amanda Prorok

Traditional approaches to the design of multiagent navigation algorithms consider the environment as a fixed constraint, despite the obvious influence of spatial constraints on agents' performance. Yet hand-designing improved environment layouts and structures is inefficient and potentially expensive. The goal of this paper is to consider the environment as a decision variable in a system-level op...
