  • 构建时空凸集图,将动态障碍物区域抽象为可计算的几何块
  • 在狭窄动态环境中比现有方法快数倍,百机器人任务几分钟完成
  • 适合复杂动态场景下的多机器人路径规划,如仓储、无人机群

时空运动规划在多机器人系统中需处理随时间变化的无碰撞区域,连续空间中可行区域瞬时且几何受限时尤为困难。本文提出基于时空凸集图(ST-GCS)的算法框架,将无碰撞区域表示为时空中的凸集,轨迹对应图上的路径及所选集合内的连续运动。将时间最优规划建模为路径索引状态的图搜索问题,开发了基于连续轨迹优化评估部分路径的最佳优先搜索求解器,结合可接受启发式与支配检查。进一步提出精确凸分解(ECD)方案,保留时空中的轨迹占用,统一处理动态障碍物与多机器人交互。针对多机器人规划,集成ST-GCS与ECD至优先级规划方法,并引入窗口化协调机制提升效率。单机与多机实验表明,在包含狭窄瞬时可行区域的环境中显著优于多种规划器,且大规模演示显示该方法可在数分钟内解决最多100个机器人的实例。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Spatiotemporal motion planning, especially in multi-robot settings, requires robots to reason about collision-free regions that change over time, which is challenging in continuous spaces when feasible regions are transient and geometrically constrained. We present an algorithmic framework based on graphs of space-time convex sets (ST-GCSs), where collision-free regions are represented as convex sets in space-time and trajectories correspond to paths on the graph together with continuous motions within the selected sets. We formulate time-optimal planning on ST-GCSs as a graph-search problem over path-indexed states and develop a best-first search solver that evaluates partial paths via continuous trajectory optimization, guided by admissible heuristics and dominance checks. We further present an Exact Convex Decomposition (ECD) scheme to reserve trajectory occupancies in space-time, enabling unified handling of dynamic obstacles and multi-robot interactions. For multi-robot motion planning, we integrate ST-GCS planning and ECD into prioritized planning methods and introduce a windowed coordination scheme to improve efficiency. Extensive experiments on single-robot and multi-robot problems demonstrate substantial speedups over various planners while maintaining high solution quality, particularly in environments with narrow and transient feasible regions. Large-scale demonstrations further show that the proposed multi-robot motion planner can solve instances with up to $100$ robots within only a few minutes.
