Rapid Randomized Restarts for Multi-Agent Path Finding Solvers

Full Text: 17977-78083-1-PB.pdf PDF

Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) is an NP-hard problem that has been well studied in artificial intelligence and robotics. Recently, randomized MAPF solvers have been shown to exhibit heavy-tailed distributions of runtimes, which can be exploited to boost their success rate for a given runtime limit. In this paper, we discuss different ways of randomizing MAPF solvers and evaluate simple rapid randomized restart strategies for state-of-the-art MAPF solvers such as iECBS, M* with highways and CBS-CL.
