让机器人在目标冲突时仍能协作移动,无需通信或信任
Agree to Disagree: Consensus-Free Flocking under Constraints
- 用局部观测实现无通信的动态距离协商
- 在目标冲突场景下仍保持群体稳定运动
- 适合多机器人协作、不信任环境的应用
机器人在协同作业时常面临部分对齐或冲突的目标。传统群集(flocking)控制依赖统一的期望间距,但实际应用中需更高灵活性。本文通过一种新型约束型集体势能函数,提出无需全局信息或跨代理通信的局部协商机制,可动态调整个体间距离参数。该方法在半信任场景下仍具鲁棒性,即使邻近机器人目标冲突也能维持群体协调。仿真验证了其有效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Robots sometimes have to work together with a mixture of partially-aligned or conflicting goals. Flocking - coordinated motion through cohesion, alignment, and separation - traditionally assumes uniform desired inter-agent distances. Many practical applications demand greater flexibility, as the diversity of types and configurations grows with the popularity of multi-agent systems in society. Moreover, agents often operate without guarantees of trust or secure communication. Motivated by these challenges we update well-established frameworks by relaxing this assumption of shared inter-agent distances and constraints. Through a new form of constrained collective potential function, we introduce a solution that permits negotiation of these parameters. In the spirit of the traditional flocking control canon, this negotiation is achieved purely through local observations and does not require any global information or inter-agent communication. The approach is robust to semi-trust scenarios, where neighbouring agents pursue conflicting goals. We validate the effectiveness of the approach through a series of simulations.
