摘要
The multi-agent path planning problem is widely used in multi-machine tasks in the aerospace field,but it is difficult to solve the problem. The improved conflict-based search algorithm is designed to quickly solve the multi-agent path planning problem. In terms of global path planning,a multi-objective cost function is designed to give a comprehensive consideration of the sum of path costs and the make span,and a conflict classification and resolution scheme based on the unique shortest path is then proposed to reduce the computational cost of multi-agent path planning. In terms of online conflict resolution,the velocity obstacle method is used to detect and resolve the sudden conflict between agents and dynamic obstacles. Simulation results show that the algorithm proposed retains the optimality of the conflict-based search algorithm in global path planning and reduces the amount of calculation. Thus,this algorithm can effectively realize online conflict detection and resolution. © 2023 AAAS Press of Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics. All rights reserved.
