• Abstract: Swarm robotics is envisioned to automate a large number of dirty, dangerous, and dull tasks. Robots have limited energy, computation capability, and communication resources. Therefore, current swarm robotics have a small number of robots, which can only provide limited spatio-temporal information. In this paper, we propose to leverage the mobile edge computing to alleviate the computation burden. We develop an effective solution based on a mobility-aware deep reinforcement learning model at the edge server side for computing scheduling and resource. Our results show that the proposed approach can meet delay requirements and guarantee computation precision by using minimum robot energy.

  We propose a novel flow matching architecture built on top of a pre-trained vision-language model (VLM) to inherit Internet-scale semantic knowledge. We evaluate our model in terms of its ability to perform tasks in zero shot after pre-training, follow language instructions from people, and its ability to acquire new skills via fine-tuning.

  This paper supports robotic parts-to-picker operations in warehousing by optimizing order-workstation assignments, item-pod assignments and the schedule of order fulfillment at workstations.
