Multi-Robot Pursuit in Parameterized Formation via Imitation Learning
- 通过五个可调参数动态调整防御机器人编队形状
- 仿真中机器人快速学会有效抓捕策略,且适应不同数量的防御者
- 结合模型预测控制,在真实机器人上验证了鲁棒性
本文研究多机器人协同追捕问题,即如何协调一组防御机器人在攻击者进入保护区域前将其捕获。由于攻击者速度更快、规避策略未知,且防御方通信能力有限,该任务极具挑战。为此,我们提出一种参数化编队控制器,允许防御机器人通过五个可调参数自适应调整编队形态。同时,设计基于模仿学习的方法,结合模型预测控制优化这些参数。利用两种技术的协同作用,通过持续训练提升防御机器人的捕获能力。仿真与实验结果均验证了所提控制器的有效性与鲁棒性:仿真显示防御机器人能快速学习有效抓捕策略,且在不同数量的防御者下仍保持高效;真实机器人平台实验进一步证实了该方法的可行性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This paper studies the problem of multi-robot pursuit of how to coordinate a group of defending robots to capture a faster attacker before it enters a protected area. Such operation for defending robots is challenging due to the unknown avoidance strategy and higher speed of the attacker, coupled with the limited communication capabilities of defenders. To solve this problem, we propose a parameterized formation controller that allows defending robots to adapt their formation shape using five adjustable parameters. Moreover, we develop an imitation-learning based approach integrated with model predictive control to optimize these shape parameters. We make full use of these two techniques to enhance the capture capabilities of defending robots through ongoing training. Both simulation and experiment are provided to verify the effectiveness and robustness of our proposed controller. Simulation results show that defending robots can rapidly learn an effective strategy for capturing the attacker, and moreover the learned strategy remains effective across varying numbers of defenders. Experiment results on real robot platforms further validated these findings.
