Abstract

An exemplary scheduler system and method are disclosed that can schedule a plurality of heterogenous robots to perform a set of tasks using heterogeneous graph attention network models. The exemplary scheduler system and method can outperform other work in multi-robot scheduling both in terms of schedule optimality and the total number of feasible schedules found and also in a scalable framework that can be trained via imitation-based Q-learning operations. The exemplary scheduler system and method can autonomously learn scheduling policies on multiple application domains.
