The paper presents a theoretical analysis of the Rolling‑Horizon Collision Resolution (RHCR) framework for Lifelong Multi‑Agent Path Finding (L‑MAPF), proving its near‑optimality in a discounted MDP setting. Building on this, the authors introduce Group Decentralized RHCR (GD‑RHCR), which partitions agents via a transitive communication scheme and plans each partition in parallel, achieving similar optimality guarantees while reducing per‑plan computational cost. Experiments across various maps demonstrate that GD‑RHCR scales to higher agent counts with high throughput and lower cost compared to vanilla RHCR.

The paper introduces Belief-Aware Multi-Agent Path Finding under Map Uncertainty, addressing the challenge that real-world environments can change unexpectedly. It proposes MAGIC, a framework that uses a Gaussian Markov Random Field and Gaussian Belief Propagation to update a shared belief about traversability online, allowing agents to infer the state of nearby unobserved locations. Experiments on standard MAPF benchmarks show that MAGIC reduces the executed sum of costs on 96.3% of instances, outperforming existing approaches across various planner families and large agent teams.

Physical Agentic AI proposes an architecture that links semantic planning with physical execution for robot crews. Each robot exposes a typed skill library, while a foundation model planner decomposes tasks into phases and assigns robot‑skill pairs. A Robot Orchestrator validates and authorizes one skill at a time, ensuring actions are grounded in robot capabilities, system state, and workflow constraints before actuation.
