Resumo: One of the main problems faced in Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) applied to Robotic Mobile Fulfillment Systems (RMFS) is how to bring greater scalability as we increase the number of agents in the system. This work aims to propose two new offline algorithms, the Space-Time Swarm Path Finding (ST-SPF) a decentralized algorithm, and the Space-Time Multi-Start (STMS), an centralized algorithm. The algorithms were tested in a simulator developed in the PyGame framework, with up to 250 agents in three different types of warehouses instances) and two types of map representations: Grid-Based and Graph-Based. The results show that the ST-SPF is scalable in complex and populous maps, achieving up to 48% reduction in execution time when compared to the Conflict-based Search (CBS) art study algorithm, while the STMS presented an advantage to CBS since achieves more completeness in small and populous instances. Finally, it was also noted that the use of the Graph-Based representation has a high use of memory for complex instances (above 600 nodes), with the Grid-Based representation being the most efficient.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo propor dois novos algoritmos offline, o algoritmo descentralizado Space-Time Swarm Path Finding (ST-SPF), e o algoritmo centralizado Space-Time Multi-Start (STMS). Os algoritmos foram testados em um simulador desenvolvido no framework PyGame, onde foram realizados experimentos com até 250 agentes em três tipos de warehouses (instâncias) diferentes, e com dois tipos representações do mapa: Grid-Based e Graph-Based. Os resultados demonstram que o ST-SPF é escalável em instâncias grandes e populosas, alcançando até 48% de redução do tempo de execução quando comparado com o algoritmo de estudo da arte Conflict-based Search (CBS), enquanto que o STMS apresentou uma vantagem ao CBS por ser mais completo (completeness) em instâncias pequenas e populosas. Por fim, também foi notado que a utilização da representação Graph-Based possui uma alta utilização de memória para instâncias complexas (acima de 600 nós), sendo a representação Grid-Based mais eficiente.Universidade Federal da ParaíbaBrasilInformáticaPrograma de Pós-Graduação em InformáticaUFPBNascimento, Tiago Pereira dohttp://lattes.cnpq.br/1641673656667170Costa, Luís Peliphe SilvaLattes não recuperado em 30/03/2022Barros, Ítalo Renan da Costa2022-04-06T15:10:06Z2021-10-232022-04-06T15:10:06Z2021-03-19info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesishttps://repositorio.ufpb.br/jspui/handle/123456789/22655porAttribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/br/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Institucional da UFPBinstname:Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB)instacron:UFPB2022-04-07T16:39:23Zoai:repositorio.ufpb.br:123456789/22655Repositório InstitucionalPUBhttps://repositorio.ufpb.br/oai/requestdiretoria@ufpb.br||bdtd@biblioteca.ufpb.bropendoar:25462022-04-07T16:39:23Repositório Institucional da UFPB - Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB)false
