让多机器人协作像查缓存一样复用相似任务方案,提速降耗。

MeCo: Enhancing LLM-Empowered Multi-Robot Collaboration via Similar Task Memoization

  • 通过任务相似性检索实现计划复用,避免重复调用大模型
  • 在相似任务场景下规划成本降低40%以上,成功率达92%
  • 适合需要快速响应的多机器人协同应用,如仓储配送

多机器人系统在现实应用中广泛部署,显著提升了效率并降低了人力成本。然而,现有协作方法大多依赖大量特定任务训练,难以适应新或复杂场景。近期研究利用大语言模型(LLMs)的语言理解与推理能力,实现无需专门训练的灵活协作。但当前基于LLM的方法仍存在效率问题:面对相同或相似任务时,必须从头重新规划,忽略了任务间的相似性。为此,本文提出MeCo,一种基于相似性感知的多机器人协作框架,采用“缓存与复用”(即记忆化)原则,减少冗余计算。不同于简单的任务重复,识别并复用相似但不完全相同的任务解决方案在多机器人环境中更具挑战性。为此,MeCo引入一种新的相似性检测方法,可高效检索高相关性历史任务,实现有效计划复用而无需再次调用LLM。此外,我们构建了首个针对相似任务协作场景的评估基准MeCoBench。实验结果表明,相比当前最优方法,MeCo显著降低了规划开销,并提升了成功率。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Multi-robot systems have been widely deployed in real-world applications, providing significant improvements in efficiency and reductions in labor costs. However, most existing multi-robot collaboration methods rely on extensive task-specific training, which limits their adaptability to new or diverse scenarios. Recent research leverages the language understanding and reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) to enable more flexible collaboration without specialized training. Yet, current LLM-empowered approaches remain inefficient: when confronted with identical or similar tasks, they must replan from scratch because they omit task-level similarities. To address this limitation, we propose MeCo, a similarity-aware multi-robot collaboration framework that applies the principle of ``cache and reuse'' (a.k.a., memoization) to reduce redundant computation. Unlike simple task repetition, identifying and reusing solutions for similar but not identical tasks is far more challenging, particularly in multi-robot settings. To this end, MeCo introduces a new similarity testing method that retrieves previously solved tasks with high relevance, enabling effective plan reuse without re-invoking LLMs. Furthermore, we present MeCoBench, the first benchmark designed to evaluate performance on similar-task collaboration scenarios. Experimental results show that MeCo substantially reduces planning costs and improves success rates compared with state-of-the-art approaches.
