This paper addresses the challenging problem of multi-robot path planning, focusing on scalability and balanced task allocation. It proposes a novel framework that integrates structural priors into Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) to improve efficiency and fairness. The approach is validated on diverse benchmarks, demonstrating improvements over existing methods and offering a scalable solution for real-world applications like logistics and search-and-rescue.
