N2 - This paper proposes a market-based multiagent task allocation framework for allocating tasks in a balanced manner based on the energy levels of robots. In this framework, a market-based agent is designed for trading tasks considering the robot capabilities, task requirements and energy level of the robot. The framework utilizes a bid weight for distributing the tasks in a balanced manner without frequent using of particular robots. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework, a simulation experiment was carried out for a cleaning mission consisting of collecting, carrying, sorting and disposal tasks.
