This addresses the problem of adaptive task allocation for multi-robot systems under uncertainty, with incremental improvements in handling unknown dynamics.

This work tackles multi-robot coordination under unknown robot transition models by developing a bi-level framework that integrates task allocation and policy learning to ensure tasks specified by Time Window Temporal Logic are satisfied with user-defined probability thresholds, demonstrating effectiveness through simulations.

This work addresses the problem of multi-robot coordination under unknown robot transition models, ensuring that tasks specified by Time Window Temporal Logic are satisfied with user-defined probability thresholds. We present a bi-level framework that integrates (i) high-level task allocation, where tasks are assigned based on the robots' estimated task completion probabilities and expected rewards, and (ii) low-level distributed policy learning and execution, where robots independently optimize auxiliary rewards while fulfilling their assigned tasks. To handle uncertainty in robot dynamics, our approach leverages real-time task execution data to iteratively refine expected task completion probabilities and rewards, enabling adaptive task allocation without explicit robot transition models. We theoretically validate the proposed algorithm, demonstrating that the task assignments meet the desired probability thresholds with high confidence. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework through comprehensive simulations.
