  • 基于强化学习的联合调度算法,动态分配任务并保障能源效率
  • 仿真中配送完成率超85%,碰撞减少90%以上,平均每轮送达6名患者
  • 适合灾难救援、医疗配送等高优先级场景的智能系统设计

自主无人机群在灾害应急响应中的医疗物资配送具有巨大潜力。然而,多无人机协同面临动态环境威胁(如风力、障碍物、网络中断)、能量受限、需在时限内公平服务不同分诊优先级患者且优化调度利用率等多重挑战。本文提出CEDA——一种新型的集中-分散式深度强化学习算法,用于协作式多无人机医疗配送,旨在联合优化分诊优先级感知的路径规划、多智能体协调与节能导航。CEDA引入优先级保持的公平调度策略,通过结构化奖励函数同时编码分诊权重与互补公平机制,确保各患者类别不被忽视。我们在包含动态危险区、随机动作失败及三类分诊优先级患者动态生成的模拟网格环境中评估该方法,并在PX4 SITL平台上使用两架X500四旋翼无人机通过MAVSDK以离线位置模式进行验证。仿真结果表明,CEDA实现超过85%的配送完成率,训练期间障碍物碰撞减少90%以上,平均每回合交付6名患者,分诊效率达0.82。该算法有效保持临床优先级顺序,危重患者优先送达,同时低优先级患者死亡率接近零,证明优先级加权路径规划不会导致稳定或紧急患者被忽视。PX4 SITL验证进一步表明,所学策略在实际通信约束和真实多机协同环境下仍可执行且具备分诊一致性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Autonomous drone fleets have immense potential in medical supply delivery during disaster incident response. However, coordinating multiple drones in such settings introduces compounding challenges: dynamic environmental hazards such as wind, obstacles, and intermittent network connectivity, constrained energy budgets, and the need to serve patient locations fairly under deadlines and triage-based priority while optimizing schedule utilization. In this paper, we present CEDA, a novel CTDE Deep Q-Network algorithm for cooperative multi-drone medical delivery, designed to jointly optimize triage-priority-aware routing, multi-agent coordination, and energy-efficient navigation under dynamic uncertainty. CEDA introduces a Priority-Preserving Fair Scheduling strategy, in which a structured reward function encodes both triage weights and complementary fairness mechanisms ensuring no patient class is starved of service. We evaluate CEDA in a simulated grid environment featuring dynamic hazard zones, stochastic action failures, and dynamically spawning patients across three triage priority levels, as well as in a PX4 SITL validation using two X500 quadrotors controlled via MAVSDK in offboard position mode. Simulation results demonstrate that CEDA achieves a delivery completion rate above 85%, reduces obstacle collisions by over 90% across training, and delivers an average of 6 patients per episode with a triage efficiency of 0.82. CEDA preserves clinical priority ordering, Critical patients are served first, while achieving near-zero mortality across lower-triage classes, confirming that priority-weighted routing does not condemn Stable or Urgent patients to neglect. PX4 SITL validation further demonstrates that the learned policy remains executable and triage-coherent under practical communication constraints and realistic multi-drone coordination in disaster response settings.
