contents Multi-robot systems can be extremely efficient for accomplishing team-wise tasks by acting concurrently and collaboratively. However, most existing methods either assume static task features or simply replan when environmental changes occur. This paper addresses the challenging problem of coordinating multi-robot systems for collaborative tasks involving dynamic and moving targets. We explicitly model the uncertainty in target motion prediction via Conformal Prediction(CP), while respecting the spatial-temporal constraints specified by Linear Temporal Logic (LTL). The proposed framework (UMBRELLA) combines the Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) over partial plans with uncertainty-aware rollouts, and introduces a CP-based metric to guide and accelerate the search. The objective is to minimize the Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) of the average makespan. For tasks released online, a receding-horizon planning scheme dynamically adjusts the assignments based on updated task specifications and motion predictions. Spatial and temporal constraints among the tasks are always ensured, and only partial synchronization is required for the collaborative tasks during online execution. Extensive large-scale simulations and hardware experiments demonstrate substantial reductions in both the average makespan and its variance by 23% and 71%, compared with static baselines.
