Communication delays can be catastrophic for multiagent systems. However, most existing state-of-the-art multiagent trajectory planners assume perfect communication and therefore lack a strategy to rectify this issue in real-world environments. To address this challenge, we propose Robust MADER (RMADER), a decentralized, asynchronous multiagent trajectory planner robust to communication delay. RMADER ensures safety by introducing (1) a Delay Check step, (2) a two-step trajectory publication scheme, and (3) a novel trajectory-storing-and-checking approach. Our primary contributions include: proving recursive feasibility for collision-free trajectory generation in asynchronous decentralized trajectory-sharing, simulation benchmark studies, and hardware experiments with different network topologies and dynamic obstacles. We show that RMADER outperforms existing approaches by achieving a 100% success rate of collision-free trajectory generation, whereas the next best asynchronous decentralized method only achieves 83% success.
