Many operational constraints are non-Markovian\, as they depe nd on execution history and anticipated future system evolution to ensure feasibility. In practice\, such constraints are often handled outside the dispatch optimisation process using heuristic controllers or human interve ntion. Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) has emerged as an adaptable approxim ate approach for large-scale haul-truck dispatch optimisation. However\, s atisfying non-Markovian constraints within MCTS is challenging due to inco mplete tree exploration and uncertain future violation estimates. To addre ss these challenges\, this thesis investigates opportunity-cost-based and robustness-based violation measures\, together with algorithms for balanci ng exploration\, exploitation\, and constraint satisfaction in MCTS. The p roposed non-Markovian constrained MCTS planners are evaluated in simulated mining domains of increasing complexity and constraint interdependence. R esults demonstrate the potential of constrained MCTS methods for adaptable non-Markovian constraint handling under dynamic operational conditions.\n \nBio:\n\n\nMilan is a PhD researcher with the Rio Tinto Sydney Innovation Hub at the University of Sydney\, undertaking her PhD in the School of Ae rospace\, Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering (AMME)\, working on const rained planning algorithms. She completed her MSc in Robotics at the Unive rsity of Birmingham and her BTech in Electronics and Communication Enginee ring at National Institute of Technology Calicut\, India. Her research int erests include task planning and decision-making under uncertainty. Her wo rk spans applications in mining logistics\, robotics\, epidemiological mod elling\, and power signal analysis.\n[https://d31hzlhk6di2h5.cloudfront.ne t/20260505/2e/8d/c7/1c/1c70baef8b350e3840963efe.png]\n\n[Web Site]\n[LinkedIn]\n[X]\n[YouTube]\n\nCo pyright © 2026\n\nThe University of Sydney\n\nPlease add acfr.admin@sydne y.edu.au to your address book or senders safe list to make sure you continue to see our emails in the future.\n\n\n \nCricos Code 00026A TEQSA PRV12057\nDisclaimer | Privacy sta tement |\n\n UID:040000008200E00074C5B7101A82E0080000000034C1C2250BDDDC01000000000000000 010000000F7E3E84EBE26F94784D68C601CD71856 SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-US:PhD Oral Thesis Defence: Milan Tomy DTSTART;TZID=AUS Eastern Standard Time:20260512T080000 DTEND;TZID=AUS Eastern Standard Time:20260512T090000 CLASS:PUBLIC PRIORITY:5 DTSTAMP:20260506T041302Z TRANSP:OPAQUE STATUS:CONFIRMED SEQUENCE:0 LOCATION;LANGUAGE=en-US:ACFR J04 Level 2 Seminar Area:\; https://maps.app.g oo.gl/PUJdbB9oUTtg5fLr8\; ZOOM:\; https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/83901112732 ?from=addon X-MICROSOFT-CDO-APPT-SEQUENCE:0 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-OWNERAPPTID:2124756303 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-BUSYSTATUS:TENTATIVE X-MICROSOFT-CDO-INTENDEDSTATUS:BUSY X-MICROSOFT-CDO-ALLDAYEVENT:FALSE X-MICROSOFT-CDO-IMPORTANCE:1 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-INSTTYPE:0 X-MICROSOFT-DONOTFORWARDMEETING:FALSE X-MICROSOFT-DISALLOW-COUNTER:FALSE X-MICROSOFT-REQUESTEDATTENDANCEMODE:DEFAULT X-MICROSOFT-ISRESPONSEREQUESTED:TRUE X-MICROSOFT-LOCATIONDISPLAYNAME:ACFR J04 Level 2 Seminar Area:\; https://ma ps.app.goo.gl/PUJdbB9oUTtg5fLr8\; ZOOM:\; https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/839 01112732?from=addon X-MICROSOFT-LOCATIONSOURCE:None X-MICROSOFT-LOCATIONS:[{"DisplayName":"ACFR J04 Level 2 Seminar Area:"\,"Lo cationAnnotation":""\,"LocationUri":""\,"LocationStreet":""\,"LocationCity ":""\,"LocationState":""\,"LocationCountry":""\,"LocationPostalCode":""\," LocationFullAddress":""}\,{"DisplayName":"https://maps.app.goo.gl/PUJdbB9o UTtg5fLr8"\,"LocationAnnotation":""\,"LocationUri":""\,"LocationStreet":"" \,"LocationCity":""\,"LocationState":""\,"LocationCountry":""\,"LocationPo stalCode":""\,"LocationFullAddress":""}\,{"DisplayName":"ZOOM:"\,"Location Annotation":""\,"LocationUri":""\,"LocationStreet":""\,"LocationCity":""\, "LocationState":""\,"LocationCountry":""\,"LocationPostalCode":""\,"Locati onFullAddress":""}\,{"DisplayName":"https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/839011127 32?from=addon"\,"LocationAnnotation":""\,"LocationUri":""\,"LocationStreet ":""\,"LocationCity":""\,"LocationState":""\,"LocationCountry":""\,"Locati onPostalCode":""\,"LocationFullAddress":""}] BEGIN:VALARM DESCRIPTION:REMINDER TRIGGER;RELATED=START:-PT15M ACTION:DISPLAY END:VALARM END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
