An Efficient Real-Time Planning Method for Swarm Robotics Based on an Optimal Virtual Tube
- 基于最优虚拟管道的集中式路径规划,结合分布式控制
- 计算复杂度仅O(nt),支持大规模轨迹快速生成
- 适合资源受限的蜂群机器人系统,实现实时重规划
在未知障碍环境中,机器人蜂群需完成自主定位、感知、决策、控制与规划。受限于机载平台的计算资源,规划与控制面临挑战。反应式规划虽计算量小、重规划频率高,但缺乏预测能力,易陷入局部极小;多步规划可进行多步预测以减少死锁,但计算开销大,重规划频率低。本文提出一种新型同伦轨迹规划框架,将集中式同伦轨迹规划(最优虚拟管道规划)与分布式控制结合,实现低计算量、高频率重规划,融合多步规划与反应式规划的优势。基于多参数规划,同伦最优轨迹由仿射函数近似,近似解的计算复杂度为O(nt),nt为轨迹参数数量。该低复杂度使大规模最优轨迹集中规划成为可能,结合分布式控制后,实现快速、低成本的重规划。通过多组仿真与实验验证了方法的有效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Robot swarms navigating through unknown obstacle environments are an emerging research area that faces challenges. Performing tasks in such environments requires swarms to achieve autonomous localization, perception, decision-making, control, and planning. The limited computational resources of onboard platforms present significant challenges for planning and control. Reactive planners offer low computational demands and high re-planning frequencies but lack predictive capabilities, often resulting in local minima. Multi-step planners can make multi-step predictions to reduce deadlocks, but they require substantial computation, resulting in a lower replanning frequency. This paper proposes a novel homotopic trajectory planning framework for a robot swarm that combines centralized homotopic trajectory planning (optimal virtual tube planning) with distributed control, enabling low-computation, high-frequency replanning, thereby uniting the strengths of multi-step and reactive planners. Based on multi-parametric programming, homotopic optimal trajectories are approximated by affine functions. The resulting approximate solutions have computational complexity $O(n_t)$, where $n_t$ is the number of trajectory parameters. This low complexity makes centralized planning of a large number of optimal trajectories practical and, when combined with distributed control, enables rapid, low-cost replanning.} The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through several simulations and experiments.
