Should you rely on this paper?

This paper is adjacent to HFEPX scope and is best used for background context, not as a primary protocol reference.

Use this as background context only. Do not make protocol decisions from this page alone.

Best use

Background context only

Use if you need

A secondary eval reference to pair with stronger protocol papers.

What to verify

Read the full paper before copying any benchmark, metric, or protocol choices.

Main weakness

The available metadata is too thin to trust this as a primary source.

Abstract

Advancing Multi-Agent Pathfinding (MAPF) and Multi-Robot Motion Planning (MRMP) requires platforms that enable transparent, reproducible comparisons across modeling choices. Existing tools either scale under simplifying assumptions (grids, homogeneous agents) or offer higher fidelity with less comparable instrumentation. We present GRACE, a unified 2D simulator+benchmark that instantiates the same task at multiple abstraction levels (grid, roadmap, continuous) via explicit, reproducible operators and a common evaluation protocol. Our empirical results on public maps and representative planners enable commensurate comparisons on a shared instance set. Furthermore, we quantify the expected representation-fidelity trade-offs (MRMP solves instances at higher fidelity but lower speed, while grid/roadmap planners scale farther). By consolidating representation, execution, and evaluation, GRACE thereby aims to make cross-representation studies more comparable and provides a means to advance multi-robot planning research and its translation to practice.

What we could verify

These are the protocol signals we could actually recover from the available paper metadata. Use them to decide whether this paper is worth deeper reading.
