Abstract: Path planning is one of the critical tasks for autonomous robots. In this paper we study the problem of finding the shortest path for a robot collecting waste spread over the area such that the robot has a limited capacity and hence during the route it must periodically visit depots/collectors to empty the collected waste. This is a variant of often overlooked vehicle routing problem with satellite facilities. We present two approaches for this optimisation problem both based on Constraint Programming techniques. The former one is inspired by the operations research model, namely by the network flows, while the second one is driven by the concept of finite state automaton. The experimental comparison and enhancements of both models are discussed with emphasis on the further adaptation to the real world environment.
