Abstract
The multi-agent pathfinding (MAPF) problem has attracted considerable attention because of its relation to practical applications. The majority of solutions for MAPF are algorithmic. Recently, declarative solutions that reduce MAPF to encodings for off-the-shelf solvers have achieved remarkable success. We present a constraint-based declarative model for MAPF, together with its implementation in Picat, which uses SAT and MIP. We consider both the makespan and the sum-of-costs objectives, and propose a preprocessing technique for improving the performance of the model. Experimental results show that the implementation using SAT is highly competitive. We also analyze the high performance of the SAT solution by relating it to the SAT encoding algorithms that are used in the Picat compiler.
