Summary

This paper looks into a way to minimize the time it takes for all packages within a set to be delivered, working with the following model of the world: each robot caries one package, 2 adjacent robots can exchange their packages and each package needs to be delivered at a certain destination. The model especially studies the amount of robots best to employ for a given set of packages.
