Abstract:

The coverage problem of stochastic environments with events occurring sequentially over-time appears in a variety of applications, e.g. mobility-on-demand services. This talk has the purpose to propose algorithms for the deployment of multiple service units/robots to cover an environment with different events arriving over-time. Furthermore, we will address the problem of unbalanced self-interested service units in an environment after servicing events and present our results on re-balancing self-interested service units in the environment after deployment.
