用扩散模型生成多智能体长期路径,提升信息采集效率。

AID: Agent Intent from Diffusion for Multi-Agent Informative Path Planning

  • 基于扩散模型非自回归生成长程轨迹,避免误差累积
  • 训练后执行速度提升4倍,信息获取量最多提高17%
  • 适合大规模多智能体实时协同任务

在大范围或时间紧迫的场景(如环境监测、搜救)中,信息采集需在有限时间内实现广泛覆盖,推动了多智能体系统的发展。此类问题常被建模为多智能体信息路径规划(MAIPP),要求多个智能体协调行动,在预算约束下最大化信息增益。MAIPP的核心挑战在于:随着测量数据不断输入,环境信念持续演化,如何确保有效协同。现有学习方法通过未来位置分布作为“意图”来支持协作,但其自回归意图预测器计算成本高且易积累误差。受扩散模型在生成长时序策略方面的表现启发,我们提出AID,一种完全去中心化的MAIPP框架,利用扩散模型以非自回归方式生成长期轨迹。AID首先对现有MAIPP规划器生成的轨迹进行行为克隆,再通过基于扩散策略优化(DPPO)的强化学习进行微调,使策略在继承专家行为的同时,通过在线奖励反馈学习更优的协同机制。实验表明,AID始终优于其训练来源的规划器,执行速度提升4倍,信息增益最高提升17%,且能有效扩展至更多智能体。代码已公开于https://github.com/marmotlab/AID。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Information gathering in large-scale or time-critical scenarios (e.g., environmental monitoring, search and rescue) requires broad coverage within limited time budgets, motivating the use of multi-agent systems. These scenarios are commonly formulated as multi-agent informative path planning (MAIPP), where multiple agents must coordinate to maximize information gain while operating under budget constraints. A central challenge in MAIPP is ensuring effective coordination while the belief over the environment evolves with incoming measurements. Recent learning-based approaches address this by using distributions over future positions as "intent" to support coordination. However, these autoregressive intent predictors are computationally expensive and prone to compounding errors. Inspired by the effectiveness of diffusion models as expressive, long-horizon policies, we propose AID, a fully decentralized MAIPP framework that leverages diffusion models to generate long-term trajectories in a non-autoregressive manner. AID first performs behavior cloning on trajectories produced by existing MAIPP planners and then fine-tunes the policy using reinforcement learning via Diffusion Policy Policy Optimization (DPPO). This two-stage pipeline enables the policy to inherit expert behavior while learning improved coordination through online reward feedback. Experiments demonstrate that AID consistently improves upon the MAIPP planners it is trained from, achieving 4x faster execution and up to 17% increased information gain, while scaling effectively to larger numbers of agents. Our implementation is publicly available at https://github.com/marmotlab/AID.
