让机器人团队用大模型自主协作,动态任务下更高效灵活。
DynaHMRC: Decentralized Heterogeneous Multi-Robot Collaboration for Dynamic Tasks with Large Language Models

- 每个机器人独立扮演角色,用大模型做决策,避免中心化瓶颈。
- 在多类动态任务中成功率更高,通信和动作步骤更少。
- 适合需要自适应协作的复杂场景,如救援、仓储等多机系统。
大语言模型(LLMs)为机器人提供了更丰富的任务理解与适应能力,使其在长周期任务中协调异构多机器人系统具有潜力。然而,现有方法仍面临三大挑战:(1)集中式LLM调度器随团队规模和环境复杂度增长而性能下降,单个模型需处理海量上下文信息,长序列近似会降低推理质量;(2)现有任务设定缺乏对动态环境的考虑,实际部署要求对任务变化具备鲁棒适应能力;(3)领域特定数据稀缺限制了专业机器人推理能力,通用预训练模型在专家任务上效率低下。为此,我们提出DynaHMRC——一种去中心化的异构多机器人协作框架,其中每台机器人作为角色感知的LLM智能体。该设计缓解了单一模型上下文瓶颈,并支持异构团队配置下的灵活协作。DynaHMRC将协作组织为四阶段闭环流程:自我描述、基于领导权竞标的任务分配、领导选举与反思式执行,由可执行机器人接口支撑。我们进一步构建了一个涵盖三类任务、四种动态变化及六种团队配置的基准测试集,系统研究动态任务建模。同时通过实证分析指导领域专用专家数据集构建,并微调预训练LLM以提升专业能力。实验表明,在评估设置下,DynaHMRC相比强基线取得更高成功率,且动作与通信步数更少,展现出良好的可扩展性趋势。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Large language models (LLMs) provide robots with richer task understanding and adaptability, making them promising for coordinating heterogeneous multi-robot systems in long-horizon tasks. Despite this potential, several challenges remain underexplored: (1) Centralized LLM schedulers scale poorly as team size and environmental complexity increase. A single model must process excessive contextual information, and long-context approximation may degrade reasoning quality; (2) Existing task formulations insufficiently consider dynamic settings, while robust adaptation to evolving task conditions is essential for real-world deployment; (3) Domain-specific data scarcity limits specialized robotic reasoning, making proprietary general-purpose models inefficient for expert tasks. To address these limitations, we propose DynaHMRC, a decentralized framework in which each robot acts as a role-aware LLM agent. This design mitigates the single-model context bottleneck and supports flexible collaboration across heterogeneous team configurations. DynaHMRC organizes collaboration as a four-stage closed-loop process: self-description, task allocation with leadership bidding, leader election, and reflective execution, supported by executable robot interfaces. We further develop a benchmark covering three task families, four dynamic variations, and six team configurations to systematically study dynamic task modeling. In addition, we conduct an empirical analysis to guide the construction of domain-specific expert datasets and fine-tune pretrained LLMs to improve specialized competence. Experiments show that DynaHMRC achieves higher success rates than strong baselines with fewer action and communication steps, while demonstrating promising scalability trends as team size grows within the evaluated settings.
