Abstract
One of most important aspects in the design of multi-robot systems is the allocation of tasks among the robots in a productive and efficient manner. This study addressed a kind of multi-robot distributed task allocation method under dynamic environments. The proposed approach is based on traditional contract net protocol and has been extended from three aspects, including task announcement strategy with case-based reasoning, selection of the contractor using multi-attribute decision theory and breach of contract mechanism. Simulation results of the pursuit problem have shown the feasibility and validity of the given algorithm.
