| 2026 | Stratified Topological Autonomy for Long-Range Coordination (STALC)abstractIn this paper, we present STALC, a hierarchical planning approach for multi-robot coordination in real-world environments with significant inter-robot spatial and temporal dependencies. At its core, STALC consists of a multi-robot graph-based planner which combines a topological graph with a novel, computationally efficient mixed-integer programming formulation to generate highly-coupled multi-robot plans in seconds. To enable autonomous planning across different spatial and temporal scales, we construct our graphs so that they capture connectivity between free-space regions and other problem-specific features, such as traversability or risk. We then use receding-horizon planners to achieve local collision avoidance and formation control. To evaluate our approach, we consider a multi-robot reconnaissance scenario where robots must autonomously coordinate to navigate through an environment while minimizing the risk of detection by observers. Through simulation-based experiments, we show that our approach is able to scale to address complex multi-robot planning scenarios. Through hardware experiments, we demonstrate our ability to generate graphs from real-world data and successfully plan across the entire hierarchy to achieve shared objectives. Cora A.
