- 适合大规模智慧农田的精准植保场景,尤其适用多机协同。
现代农业农场规模扩大,亟需高效自适应的多智能体覆盖策略来管理病虫害。传统人工巡查和全覆盖喷药方式导致农药滥用、资源浪费和环境影响。尽管无人机(UAV)在精准农业中展现出潜力,但其续航、载荷和可扩展性限制了在大田中的应用,单一无人机或均匀分布喷洒难以满足需求。现有协同框架通常假设均匀喷洒,未考虑病害严重程度、无人机动力学特性、非均匀资源分配及能效协调问题。为此,本文提出密度驱动最优控制(D2OC)框架,融合最优传输理论与多无人机覆盖控制,实现基于病害强度的非均匀、优先级感知资源分配,减少无效用药。无人机建模为线性时变(LTV)系统以捕捉喷洒过程中的质量与惯性变化。通过拉格朗日力学推导出的D2OC控制律,实现了高效协同、负载均衡和任务持续时间优化。仿真结果表明,该方法在覆盖率、化学减量和运行可持续性方面均优于均匀喷洒和谱多尺度覆盖(SMC),为智慧农业提供可扩展的解决方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The growing scale of modern farms has increased the need for efficient and adaptive multi-agent coverage strategies for pest, weed, and disease management. Traditional methods such as manual inspection and blanket pesticide spraying often lead to excessive chemical use, resource waste, and environmental impact. While unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offer a promising platform for precision agriculture through targeted spraying and improved operational efficiency, existing UAV-based approaches remain limited by battery life, payload capacity, and scalability, especially in large fields where single-UAV or uniformly distributed spraying is insufficient. Although multi-UAV coordination has been explored, many current frameworks still assume uniform spraying and do not account for infestation severity, UAV dynamics, non-uniform resource allocation, or energy-efficient coordination. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a Density-Driven Optimal Control (D2OC) framework that integrates Optimal Transport (OT) theory with multi-UAV coverage control for large-scale agricultural spraying. The method supports non-uniform, priority-aware resource allocation based on infestation intensity, reducing unnecessary chemical application. UAVs are modeled as a linear time-varying (LTV) system to capture variations in mass and inertia during spraying missions. The D2OC control law, derived using Lagrangian mechanics, enables efficient coordination, balanced workload distribution, and improved mission duration. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms uniform spraying and Spectral Multiscale Coverage (SMC) in coverage efficiency, chemical reduction, and operational sustainability, providing a scalable solution for smart agriculture.
