Hierarchical LLM-Based Multi-Agent Framework with Prompt Optimization for Multi-Robot Task Planning
- 分层架构:上层分解任务,下层生成可执行的PDDL计划。
- 成功率达95%(复合任务)、60%(模糊任务),优于之前最佳方案。
- 通过文本梯度优化提示,适合需要高可靠性的机器人系统研发。
多机器人任务规划需将自然语言指令分解为可执行动作,以适配异构机器人团队。传统规划语言(PDDL)虽具形式化保障,但难以处理模糊或长时序任务;大语言模型(LLM)可理解指令并生成计划,却可能产生幻觉或不可行动作。本文提出一种分层式多代理LLM规划框架,结合提示优化:上层负责任务分解与分配,下层生成PDDL问题并由经典规划器求解。当计划失败时,系统采用受TextGrad启发的文本梯度更新机制,优化各代理的提示,提升规划准确性;同时,同层代理共享学习到的元提示(meta-prompts),实现高效协同优化。在MAT-THOR基准测试中,该方法在复合任务、复杂任务和模糊任务上的成功率分别为0.95、0.84和0.60,相较先前最优方案LaMMA-P分别提升2、7和15个百分点。消融实验表明,分层结构、提示优化与元提示共享分别贡献约+59、+37和+4个百分点的整体成功率提升。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Multi-robot task planning requires decomposing natural-language instructions into executable actions for heterogeneous robot teams. Conventional Planning Domain Definition Language (PDDL) planners provide rigorous guarantees but struggle to handle ambiguous or long-horizon missions, while large language models (LLMs) can interpret instructions and propose plans but may hallucinate or produce infeasible actions. We present a hierarchical multi-agent LLM-based planner with prompt optimization: an upper layer decomposes tasks and assigns them to lower-layer agents, which generate PDDL problems solved by a classical planner. When plans fail, the system applies TextGrad-inspired textual-gradient updates to optimize each agent's prompt and thereby improve planning accuracy. In addition, meta-prompts are learned and shared across agents within the same layer, enabling efficient prompt optimization in multi-agent settings. On the MAT-THOR benchmark, our planner achieves success rates of 0.95 on compound tasks, 0.84 on complex tasks, and 0.60 on vague tasks, improving over the previous state-of-the-art LaMMA-P by 2, 7, and 15 percentage points respectively. An ablation study shows that the hierarchical structure, prompt optimization, and meta-prompt sharing contribute roughly +59, +37, and +4 percentage points to the overall success rate.
