In this letter, we propose an adaptive risk-based replanning strategy in the context of multirobot task allocation for dealing with limitations of local perception and unpredicted human behavior. Our replanning method is based on the variations of social risk and humanmotion prediction uncertainty. The performance of our method is studied through an extensive suite of experiments of increasing complexity. Results obtained using both a high-fidelity simulator and real robots confirm that this strategy outperforms a nonadaptive replanning strategy in all cases with respect to the chosen social metrics. First, the overall performance of the team depends on its replanning strategy, and second on the available information about the humans. Although an adaptive replanning strategy with global perception leads to the best performance, it is computationally expensive and infeasible in some real applications. Local perception shows comparable results as long as updates of relevant human poses affecting a task's risk are available within the execution time of that task. Conversely, the nonadaptive replanning strategy is shown to have degraded results with global perception as decisions in this case can be based on outdated information that lead to invalid plans.
