Popis: In this paper, we study a cooperative aerial-ground robotic team and its application to the task of automated construction. We propose a solution for planning and coordinating the mission of constructing a wall with a predefined structure for a heterogeneous system consisting of one mobile robot and up to three unmanned aerial vehicles. The wall consists of bricks of various weights and sizes, some of which need to be transported using multiple robots simultaneously. To that end, we use hierarchical task representation to specify interrelationships between mission subtasks and employ effective scheduling and coordination mechanism, inspired by Generalized Partial Global Planning. We evaluate the performance of the method under different optimization criteria and validate the solution in the realistic Gazebo simulation environment.
