Planning for Many Robots and Objects

Summary

Jingjin Yu from Rutgers University presented research on multi-robot coordination and robotic manipulation at MBZUAI. The talk covered Rubik Table algorithms for collision-free path planning for multiple robots in dense settings. It also discussed algorithms for long-horizon manipulation tasks like rearrangement and object retrieval. Why it matters: Advancements in multi-robot coordination and manipulation are crucial for deploying robots in various sectors within the UAE and beyond, such as logistics and elder care.
