Distributed Formation Navigation of Constrained Second-Order Multiagent Systems With Collision Avoidance and Connectivity Maintenance

Junjie Fu et al.

Summary: This article considers the problem of distributed formation navigation for second-order multiagent systems subject to velocity and input constraints. The controller design takes into account both collision avoidance and network connectivity maintenance. The control barrier function method is used to achieve multiple control objectives while satisfying the constraints. A distributed leader-following formation controller is proposed to handle switching communication graphs and maintain velocity and input constraints. A topology-based connectivity maintenance strategy and barrier function-based constraints for collision avoidance are also presented. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

Reinforcement Learned Distributed Multi-Robot Navigation With Reciprocal Velocity Obstacle Shaped Rewards

Ruihua Han et al.

Summary: In this letter, a distributed approach for multi-robot navigation is proposed to solve the reciprocal collision avoidance problem in complex scenarios. This approach combines the concept of reciprocal velocity obstacle (RVO) and the scheme of deep reinforcement learning (DRL), using sequential VO and RVO vectors to represent the interactive environmental states. A bidirectional recurrent module based neural network is developed to map the states of surrounding obstacles to actions, and a RVO-based reward function is designed to encourage reciprocal collision avoidance behaviors. The proposed policy is trained and updated through simulated scenarios, and experimental results demonstrate its superior performance.
