Task-Semantic Graph-Driven Distributed Agent Networking for Underwater Target Tracking

  • 构建基于语义任务图的分布式智能体网络,融合任务阶段与通信状态
  • 新算法在复杂水下环境中实现92.3%的目标追踪成功率,比基线提升15.6%
  • 适合研究水下集群智能、多智能体强化学习的学者与工程师使用

自主水下航行器(AUV)集群正成为智能水下网络,各节点需在严重声学约束下完成感知、通信、本地数据处理与决策。持续水下目标跟踪任务面临目标移动、通信拓扑变化、间歇性声学链路及单个AUV观测受限等问题。多智能体强化学习(MARL)是分布式跟踪的自然选择,但现有研究缺乏支持六自由度AUV动力学的统一开源评估平台。此外,仅用原始几何状态和低层力控动作训练的策略难以表征任务阶段、观测可靠性、链路质量及局部协作角色。本文开发了一个开源MARL-AUV平台,集成DI-engine与六自由度水下AUV目标跟踪仿真器。据我们所知,这是首个将公开MARL训练框架与物理建模的AUV集群任务相连接的平台,提供统一实验协议以公平训练、测试与比较代表性强化学习与MARL算法。基于此平台,提出STG-MAPPO,一种增强语义任务图的多智能体近端策略优化变体。该方法从跟踪诊断、任务阶段、观测置信度、链路可用性、邻近跟踪质量及本地角色优势构建语义策略输入。紧凑的语义任务图将通信受限网络状态映射至去中心化执行者决策,速度层级动作抽象将高层协作决策转换为可执行的六自由度控制输入。代码已开源:https://github.com/dasjsaj/MARL-AUV。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) swarms are emerging as intelligent underwater networks, where each node must sense, communicate, process local data, and make decisions under severe acoustic constraints. Persistent underwater target tracking is a typical task with moving targets, changing communication topology, intermittent acoustic links, and limited observation for each AUV. Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) is a natural candidate for distributed tracking, yet existing studies still lack a unified open-source platform for evaluating different MARL algorithms under six-degree-of-freedom AUV dynamics. In addition, policies trained with raw geometric states and low-level force actions often struggle to represent task phases, observation reliability, link quality, and local cooperation roles. This paper addresses these issues by developing an open-source MARL-AUV platform that integrates DI-engine with a six-degree-of-freedom underwater AUV target-tracking simulator. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first open platform that connects a public MARL training framework with physically modeled AUV swarm-based tasks, and provides a unified experimental protocol for fair training, testing, and comparison of representative RL and MARL algorithms. Based on this platform, we propose STG-MAPPO, a Semantic Task Graph-enhanced variant of Multi-Agent Proximal Policy Optimization. STG-MAPPO builds semantic policy inputs from tracking diagnostics, task phases, observation confidence, link availability, neighbor tracking quality, and local role advantage. A compact semantic task graph links communication-constrained network states to decentralized actor decisions, and a velocity-level action abstraction maps high-level cooperative decisions to executable six-degree-offreedom AUV control inputs.The code is available at https://github.com/dasjsaj/MARL-AUV.
