Multi-Agent Robot System for Mall Sanitization

In the demo, you can see that:

The user is given a time window in which they choose to select all 5 stores to be sanitized.
After the time window passes, the Sanitization Requests panel of the GUI is disabled.
Based on the MRTA algorithm calculations:
- Robot A gets assigned stores 5 –> 4.
  - It stops at each store for a pre-set sanitization time.
  - It stays at the last store assigned (store 4).
- Robot B gets assigned stores 1 –> 2 –> 3.
  - It stops at each store for a pre-set sanitization time.
  - It stays at the last store assigned (store 3).
After the sanitization requests are fulfilled, the GUI clears & opens another time window for the user.
The user selects stores 2, 3 & 4 to be sanitized.
After the time window passes, the Sanitization Requests panel of the GUI is disabled.
Based on the MRTA algorithm calculations:
- Robot A gets assigned store 4.
  - Since it’s already at store 4, it sanitizes it and stays there.
- Robot B gets assigned stores 3 –> 2.
  - Since it’s already at store 3, it sanitizes it in place.
  - It then moves to store 2, sanitizes it and stays there.
In both rounds, while robots are navigating to their assigned stores, the GUI’s tracking panel and plot are updating in real-time, as shown in figure 1.
