Researchers have developed a new planner called Sokoban-LaCAM that can efficiently solve instances of the Multi-Agent Sokoban game, which involves agents pushing boxes to target locations. This approach leverages recent advancements in multi-agent pathfinding (MAPF) to handle the complexities of multiple agents, such as increased branching factors and the need for integrated task assignment and collision-free pathfinding. The Sokoban-LaCAM planner demonstrates scalability by successfully managing tens of agents and boxes while maintaining completeness and eventual optimality, suggesting MAPF's utility for broader collective automation challenges.
