Mission assignment approach of team service robots based on evolutionary algorithm

This work is the first step in the development of a centralized decision making agent for the IWARD project that is the extension of two difficult problems VRP-TW and the MC-VRP combined together. In this paper we presented the problem and proposed a resolution method using the evolutionary algorithms. Improving the local search algorithms and the crossover techniques, taking into account the mission duration, not only the order of the missions would be important avenues for future improvements, but also the variation of the parameters mainly the mutation factor and population sizes could be also beneficial.
