Title: Integrated Multi-Drone Task Allocation, Sequencing, and Optimal Trajectory Generation in Obstacle-Rich 3D Environments

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.24908v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Coordinating teams of aerial robots in cluttered three-dimensional (3D) environments requires a principled integration of discrete mission planning-deciding which robot serves which goals and in what order -- with continuous-time trajectory synthesis that enforces collision avoidance and dynamic feasibility. This paper introduces IMD-TAPP (Integrated Multi-Drone Task Allocation and Path Planning), an end-to-end framework that jointly addresses mu
