Abstract

Multi-agent path planning is a very challenging problem that has several applications. It has received a lot of attention in the last decade. Multi-agent optimal path planning is computationally intractable. Some algorithms have been suggested that may not return optimal plans but are useful in practice. These works mostly use centralized algorithms to compute plans. However in a multi-agent setting it would be more appropriate for the agents, with limited information, to compute the plans. In this paper, we suggest a distributed multi-agent path planning algorithm DMAPP, where all the phases are distributed. We have implemented DMAPP and have compared its performance with some existing algorithms. The results show the effectiveness of our approach.
