多机器人系统通过共享记忆实现集体智能,让新加入的机器人快速继承团队经验。
When Multi-Robot Systems Meet Agentic AI:Towards Embodied Collective Intelligence

- 机器人通过协同感知、行动和进化构建共享世界记忆
- 新机器人可继承团队积累的经验,提升任务适应速度
- 为多机器人协作提供可落地的智能框架,适合研究群体智能的学者
具身智能正向代理化演进,机器人从感知-控制流水线转向具备上下文检索、执行中反思、反馈监控与行为优化的闭环系统。与此同时,机器人研究也从单机自治转向多机器人系统,以满足广域感知、分布式执行、异构能力与容错需求。随着智能体从单体应用迈向多智能体协作,机器人团队需超越共享地图、任务分配与数据集的层次,转而共享由具身代理循环生成的状态。本文提出具身集体智能(ECI)范式,强调团队通过协同感知、协同行动与协同演化积累并利用世界上下文、任务进展与技能经验作为共享资源。通过导航案例研究,验证了共享世界记忆继承的可行性:新增机器人能受益于融合的团队记忆,但此研究仅聚焦概念中一个具体组件。整体而言,该综述与框架为具身多智能体智能指明方向,案例研究则为概念提供了可度量的实证基础。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Embodied AI is increasingly becoming agentic, shifting robots from perception--control pipelines towards closed-loop systems that can retrieve context, deliberate during execution, monitor feedback, and refine future behavior. In parallel, robotics research has also moved from single-robot autonomy towards multi-robot systems, driven by the need for wider sensing, distributed action, heterogeneous capabilities, and fault tolerance. As AI agents move from single-agent use towards multi-agent collaboration, robotics faces a parallel challenge: robot teams must move beyond sharing maps, task assignments, and datasets towards sharing the state produced by embodied agent loops. This article explores Embodied Collective Intelligence (ECI), a future multi-robot paradigm in which a robot team accumulates and uses world context, task progress, and skill experience as shared resources. Specifically, we first review how embodied AI is becoming agentic and how multi-robot cooperation has evolved. We then present Embodied Collective Intelligence through Co-Perception, Co-Action, and Co-Evolution. Finally, we use an illustrative navigation study to examine one concrete component of the concept: shared world-memory inheritance. The study shows that a newly added robot can benefit from merged team memory, but it is not intended as a full evaluation of the ECI framework. Taken together, the review and conceptual framework motivate Embodied Collective Intelligence as a direction for embodied multi-agent intelligence, while the case study grounds one measurable part of the concept.
