时变覆盖控制旨在协调多个智能体在随时间变化的兴趣区域中进行覆盖,广泛应用于自动驾驶出租车部署和搜救任务协同。该问题因时变密度函数、非线性智能体动力学及严格系统与安全约束而复杂。本文提出一种分布式多智能体控制框架,用于处理非线性受限动力学下的时变覆盖控制。方法结合参考轨迹规划器与跟踪模型预测控制(MPC),在多速率框架下以不同频率运行。针对周期性密度函数,证明闭环收敛至最优轨迹配置,并提供约束满足、碰撞避免与递归可行性的形式保证。此外,提出一种高效算法以处理非周期密度函数,增强实际应用能力。最后,通过四辆小型赛车的硬件实验验证了方法的有效性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Time-varying coverage control addresses the challenge of coordinating multiple agents covering an environment where regions of interest change over time. This problem has broad applications, including the deployment of autonomous taxis and coordination in search and rescue operations. The achievement of effective coverage is complicated by the presence of time-varying density functions, nonlinear agent dynamics, and stringent system and safety constraints. In this paper, we present a distributed multi-agent control framework for time-varying coverage under nonlinear constrained dynamics. Our approach integrates a reference trajectory planner and a tracking model predictive control (MPC) scheme, which operate at different frequencies within a multi-rate framework. For periodic density functions, we demonstrate closed-loop convergence to an optimal configuration of trajectories and provide formal guarantees regarding constraint satisfaction, collision avoidance, and recursive feasibility. Additionally, we propose an efficient algorithm capable of handling nonperiodic density functions, making the approach suitable for practical applications. Finally, we validate our method through hardware experiments using a fleet of four miniature race cars.
