X-SYCON: Xylem-Inspired Passive Gradient Control for Communication-Free Swarm Response in Dynamic Disaster Environments

  • 通过被动场扩散实现无通信协调,代理按局部效用值移动。
  • 载体数增加时吞吐量亚线性增长,误漏率低且响应稳定。
  • 适合通信中断的灾后救援等受限环境,可调参数适应复杂场景。

我们提出X-SYCON,一种受木质部启发的多智能体架构,协调由被动场动态自发形成,而非显式规划或通信。事件(需求)和障碍(危险)持续生成扩散衰减的标量场,智能体贪婪地沿局部效用 $U=ϕ_{\mathrm{DE}}-κ\,ϕ_{\mathrm{HZ}}$ 上升,并具备轻量级防拥堵与分离机制。首次接触触发信标规则,临时加深局部需求势阱,加速完成而不延长首次响应时间。在动态、部分阻塞的模拟环境中,观察到低误漏率和稳定的吞吐量,且载体数量、到达率、障碍密度和障碍敏感度 $κ$ 之间具有可解释、可调的权衡关系。我们推导出特征水力长度尺度 $\ell\approx\sqrt{D/λ}$ 可预测招募范围,且提供与团队规模亚线性容量增长一致的工作守恒(欧姆定律)边界。实证发现:(i) 软性障碍惩罚在已有障碍阻塞运动时减少误漏;(ii) 吞吐量随载体数亚线性饱和,可靠性显著提升;(iii) 更强到达率可通过维持势阱吸引支援,降低误漏;(iv) 障碍密度增加会缩小相稳定性区域,但更多载体或更高到达率可恢复。我们将X-SYCON视为分布式被动计算与控制的实例,并在模拟通信失效的灾后响应及其他受限感知-动作场景中进行了评估。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We present X-SYCON, a xylem-inspired multi-agent architecture in which coordination emerges from passive field dynamics rather than explicit planning or communication. Incidents (demands) and obstructions (hazards) continually write diffusing and decaying scalar fields, and agents greedily ascend a local utility $U=ϕ_{\mathrm{DE}}-κ\,ϕ_{\mathrm{HZ}}$ with light anti-congestion and separation. A beaconing rule triggered on first contact temporarily deepens the local demand sink, accelerating completion without reducing time-to-first-response. Across dynamic, partially blocked simulated environments, we observe low miss rates and stable throughput with interpretable, tunable trade-offs over carrier count, arrival rate, hazard density, and hazard sensitivity $κ$. We derive that a characteristic hydraulic length scale $\ell\approx\sqrt{D/λ}$ predicts recruitment range in a continuum approximation, and we provide a work-conservation (Ohm-law) bound consistent with sublinear capacity scaling with team size. Empirically: (i) soft hazard penalties yield fewer misses when obstacles already block motion; (ii) throughput saturates sublinearly with carriers while reliability improves sharply; (iii) stronger arrivals can reduce misses by sustaining sinks that recruit help; and (iv) phase-stability regions shrink with hazard density but are recovered by more carriers or higher arrivals. We refer to X-SYCON as an instance of Distributed Passive Computation and Control, and we evaluate it in simulations modeling communication-denied disaster response and other constrained sensing-action regimes.
