SAT shows up in a lot of problems. Im doing my PhD in multi-agent robotics after spending some time working on real life multirobot deployments. Ive been frustrated because most roboticists I talk to think SAT is a dead end, but we have been having insane advances in solver speeds over the years. I guess everyone is obsessed about the ML hypetrain right now, but where sat shines is when we need to orchestrate at a task level. I feel theres defintely work to be done to bridge both worlds.

Actually quadratic programming is all the rage these days since computers have gotten fast enough that you can run QP solvers in your control loop.
