Carnegie Mellon University
The Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) has created the Constraint
Optimization Coordination Architecture (COCoA), a mixed integer linear program (MILP)
framework that uses a goal-oriented representation to generate task schedules that can
actually be executed by robots. At the core of COCoA is an anytime algorithm that
combines domain-specific heuristics with ILOG CPLEX, the leading mathematical
optimizer, to generate scheduling solutions. ILOG CPLEX delivers solutions in a fraction of
the time of other solvers, giving COCoA real-time responsiveness for managing rescue
operations.
