Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of drone control, and in particular to a multi-robot collaborative operation control method, corresponding devices, electronic equipment and computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] For robots that need to perform complex tasks, the load capacity and power supply capacity of a single robot are limited, and it is difficult to equip multiple functional components at the same time. In addition, for some tasks with high dynamics, it is more difficult and more expensive to develop a single robot than to develop a group of robots. Even any problem that is handled by a multifunctional individual robot can benefit from being replaced by a multi-robot system. This is because the robustness and reliability of the system can be increased by combining several robots with poor robustness and reliability. Based on the above considerations, the Multi-Robot System (MRS) came into being and became one of the most important research areas in robotics, with a variety of potential applications in monitoring, search and rescue, collaborative operations, mapping and exploration. MRS aims to improve the efficiency and quality of tasks by combining multiple robots into a collaborative team and utilizing the characteristics and capabilities of each robot to jointly complete complex tasks.

[0003] According to the number of robots and the interaction mode between robots, MRS can be divided into three categories: team, formation and swarm. In a team, robots compete or cooperate with each other according to the actual situation, aiming to maximize their own local goals or minimize local costs. However, this competition may lead to conflicts between robots, thus hindering the discovery of system solutions. On the other hand, this competition may also lead the system to achieve optimal or suboptimal solutions. In contrast to the team, robots in the formation always cooperate with each other to complete certain specific tasks and achieve consistency of partial state information through communication links. For the swarm, each individual robot follows the Reynolds rule to achieve the overall goal, that is, to generate emergent behavior through local interaction forces between individuals. Generally speaking, the number of robots in a team and formation is small, usually not more than 10. This small-scale team can be more easily coordinated and controlled. The swarm is composed of many similar robots. As long as the system load is not saturated, the number of robots can be continuously increased as needed. This cluster structure makes the system more scalable and adaptable, and can cope with larger-scale tasks and environments. However, in traditional technologies, when aerial robot formations perform complex tasks, the task allocation complexity and computational effort are large, and the real-time and adaptability of the optimization algorithm are poor in changing task environments.

[0004] To sum up, in order to adapt to the problems of the existing technology in which aerial robot formations perform complex tasks, the task allocation complexity and the amount of calculation are large, and the real-time and adaptability of the optimization algorithm are poor in a changing task environment, the applicant has made corresponding explorations to solve these problems.

Those skilled in the art should be aware of this flexibility.

[0067] The multi-robot collaborative operation control method of the present application can be implemented based on a multi-robot collaborative operation control system, which is composed of aerial robots, communications and control strategies. Aerial robots are divided into leader (Leader-UAV, L-UAV) robots and follower (Follower-UAV, F-UAV) robots, which are equipped with onboard computers, flight controllers, power systems, and positioning and mapping sensors. Their functional modules are divided into positioning and mapping modules, task allocation modules, formation control modules, motion planning modules, motion control modules, and special task modules.

[0068] In some embodiments, the positioning and mapping module is used to obtain information from a series of positioning and mapping sensors such as IMU, GPS, and lidar, and output the point cloud map and positioning information to the motion planning module, output the positioning information of the aerial robot in the world coordinate system, and send it to the formation control module and the motion planning module via the wireless network communication module; the task allocation module is a leader-specific module, which is used to receive the point cloud maps and positioning information of all aerial robot positioning and mapping modules and the task information released by the system, and assign tasks through the aerial robot's onboard computer according to the type of aerial robot, the type of task, and the distance cost from the aerial robot to the task, obtain the task allocation information, and transmit the status information to the formation control module and the motion planning module via the wireless network communication module; the formation control module is a leader-specific module, which is used to receive the point cloud maps and positioning information of all aerial robot positioning and mapping modules, and calculate the position, speed, acceleration and deceleration of the F-UAV at the next moment online through the aerial robot's onboard computer according to the preset expected formation and expected state information The motion planning module is used to receive the status information released by the L-UAV and use it as the following target. If the aerial robot is performing a special task and is not in the formation, the task being performed or the position information of the L-UAV is used as the tracking target. Combined with the dynamic model of the aerial robot, the motion trajectory that satisfies the dynamics and obstacle avoidance is obtained through online processing by the onboard computer of the aerial robot, and the trajectory information is transmitted to the motion control module through the wireless network communication module; the motion control module is used to receive the positioning information from the positioning and mapping module and the final aerial robot speed control instruction calculated by the motion planning module, and output PWM signals to control the motor speed of the power system through processing by the flight controller; it is used to send control command signals to control the operation of the special task module; the special task module is used to receive instructions from the motion control module to run special functions and is responsible for executing special tasks; the wireless network communication module is responsible for signal transmission between aerial robots.

[0069] In some embodiments, as a further optimization solution for the multi-robot collaborative operation control system described in this application, the special task module is a sensor and actuator mounted on the aerial robot, such as an infrared detector and a robotic arm;

[0070] In some embodiments, as a further optimization scheme of the multi-robot collaborative operation control system described in the present application, the motion control module obtains the top-level control instructions and positioning information from the onboard computer by the flight controller, and collects the robot's motion state information based on the gyroscope, accelerometer, barometer and other sensors on the flight controller for analysis, generates a control signal to adjust the motor speed of the power system, and then controls the robot's spatial posture; in addition, the motion control module is responsible for information exchange with the special task module, sending information to the special task module through the onboard computer or the flight controller and receiving information collected by the special task module;

[0071] In some embodiments, as a further optimization solution for the multi-robot collaborative operation control system described in this application, the positioning and mapping series sensors used in the positioning and mapping module run a simultaneous positioning and mapping algorithm. Through the simultaneous positioning and mapping algorithm calculation, a three-dimensional point cloud map, robot three-dimensional positioning coordinate information, and robot quaternion posture information are obtained.

[0072] Based on the above exemplary scenarios, please refer to Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 In one embodiment, the multi-robot collaborative operation control method of the present application includes:

[0073] Step S10, responding to the instruction of performing formation control on the robots, obtaining the corresponding formation control parameters and formation reconstruction trigger parameters of the robots, wherein the formation control parameters include position error vector, speed error vector, position weight and speed weight, and the formation reconstruction trigger parameters include communication matrix, task execution list, faulty robot list, robot list out of formation, total number of robots, and adjacency matrix;

[0074] The formation control module in the multi-robot collaborative operation control system can respond to instructions for formation control of the robots, obtain the corresponding formation control parameters of the robots and formation reconstruction trigger parameters, wherein the formation control parameters include position error vector, speed error vector, position weight and speed weight, and the formation reconstruction trigger parameters include communication matrix, task execution list, faulty robot list, list of robots out of formation, total number of robots, adjacency matrix; wherein the task execution list is used to number follower robots that perform tasks, the faulty robot list is used to store the numbers of follower robots that have left the formation due to faults, and the list of robots out of formation is used to store the numbers of all follower robots that want to leave the formation; the adjacency matrix represents the relative position error between robots in the formation, and the robots include aerial robots or drones.

[0075] Step S20, constructing a speed control model according to the position weight, the speed weight, the position error vector and the speed error vector, constructing a robot state model according to the position error vector and the speed error vector, and triggering robot formation reconstruction according to the formation reconstruction trigger parameter using the speed control model and the robot state model to perform task allocation;

[0076] After obtaining the corresponding formation control parameters and formation reconstruction trigger parameters of the robots, a speed control model is constructed according to the position weight, the speed weight, the position error vector and the speed error vector, a robot state model is constructed according to the position error vector and the speed error vector, and the speed control model and the robot state model are used to trigger the robot formation reconstruction according to the formation reconstruction trigger parameters to perform task allocation;

[0077] In some embodiments, the speed control model is expressed as:

[0078]

[0079] Among them, u i represents the speed control input signal of the ith robot at time t, α 1 , α 2 Represent the position weight and velocity weight respectively, α 1 The larger the value, the faster the robot can reach the desired position; 2 The larger it is, the faster the robots reach consensus. Respectively represent the position error vectors of robot i and robot j in the desired formation, They represent the velocity error vectors of robot i and robot j in the desired formation respectively.

[0080] The expression of the robot state model is expressed as:

[0081]

[0082] Specifically, the leader's formation control module receives the point cloud map and positioning information of all aerial robot positioning and mapping modules, and calculates the speed control input signal of each aerial robot according to the consistency-based formation control strategy. The expression of the speed control model is:

[0083]

[0084] Among them, u i represents the speed control input signal of the ith robot at time t, α 1 , α 2 Represent the position weight and velocity weight respectively, α 1 The larger the value, the faster the robot can reach the desired position; 2 The larger it is, the faster the robots reach consensus. Respectively represent the position error vectors of robot i and robot j in the desired formation, They represent the velocity error vectors of robot i and robot j in the desired formation, and a ij Refers to the corresponding matrix element in the adjacency matrix A. If a ij If it is not 0, it means that there is a graph connection between robots i and j. Otherwise, it means that there is no graph connection between robots i and j.

[0085] In order to realize the formation control of multi-robot formation, the states of all aerial robots should satisfy the expression of the robot state model, which is expressed as:

[0086]

[0087] Due to the needs of task execution, the number of aerial robots in the formation will change according to the execution progress of the aerial robots assigned to the task. Therefore, the communication matrix C∈R is introduced n×n , represents the communication relationship between aerial robots within the communication range (formation range): If aerial robot i and aerial robot j can communicate, then c ij =1; otherwise, c ij =0; introduce the task execution list executionList∈R n , store the follower number that executes the task; introduce the fault robot list faultList∈R n , store the number of followers that have left the formation due to a fault; introduce the list of robots that have left the formation list = executionList∪

[0088] faultList stores the numbers of all followers that want to leave the formation. After that, the formation structure is redefined through graph theory, so that the multi-robot formation changes accordingly at different stages. The specific principle is as follows:

[0089] In the formation flight stage, when the number of aerial robots within the formation range is equal to the total number of aerial robots num and no follower is performing a task, that is, when C.rows() == num && list.empty(), the system is in the formation flight stage, and the aerial robots within the formation maintain the initial formation until the conditions change.

[0090] In the task execution stage, when several followers are assigned tasks and gradually leave the formation range, that is, when C.rows() <= num && C.rows() > num - list.size() &&!list.empty(), the system is in the task execution stage. The followers assigned tasks are gradually leaving the formation, while the remaining aerial robots still maintain the original formation until all the followers assigned tasks leave the formation. At this time, the adjacency matrix A ∈ R among the aerial robots within the formation n×n is recalculated, and the row and column elements corresponding to the F-UAVs performing tasks in A are all set to zero to keep the formation unchanged.

[0091] When all the followers assigned tasks have left the formation range, the remaining aerial robots trigger formation reconstruction to form a new formation, that is, when C.rows() == num - list.size() &&!list.empty(), the system is in the task execution stage, but the followers performing tasks have left the formation range. At this time, the number of aerial robots within the formation range changes, and the condition for maintaining the initial formation is not met, triggering formation reconstruction to form a new formation. Therefore, the adjacency matrix A ∈ R among the aerial robots within the formation is recalculated n×n and the corresponding rows and columns of the followers performing tasks in A are deleted.

[0092] In the formation return stage:

[0093] (1) Several followers assigned tasks have completed the tasks but have not entered the formation range, that is, when C.rows() < num - list.size() &&!list.empty(), several followers are returning to the formation but have not entered the formation range. At this time, the aerial robots within the formation range still maintain the original formation.

[0094] (2) On the premise that there are still tasks unfinished, some followers who have partially completed their tasks have entered the formation range, that is, when C.rows() ≤ num - list.size() &&!list.empty(). At this time, the followers who have completed their tasks within the formation range and the original aerial robots trigger formation reconstruction together. (The followers who have completed their tasks within the formation range need to meet certain conditions to trigger formation reconstruction with the original aerial robots and form a new formation; otherwise, when the conditions are not met, the original aerial robots within the formation range maintain the original formation.)

[0095] (3) On the premise that all tasks are completed, there are still followers who have not entered the formation range, that is, when C.rows() < num && list.empty(), at this time, the aerial robots within the formation range maintain the original formation.

[0096] (4) On the premise that all tasks are completed, all the followers assigned tasks have entered the formation range, that is, when C.rows() == num && list.empty(), then all the aerial robots in the formation trigger formation reconstruction to form a new formation.

[0097] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , after a group of aerial robots randomly assigned in the workspace are officially started, they will gather around the leader, and then form and maintain the desired formation through a consensus - based formation control strategy. The aerial robot formation flies in accordance with a preset formation (regular polygon) and executes preset tasks. Among them, the L - UAV uses the artificial potential field method for autonomous navigation; while the F - UAV realizes leader following through consensus formation control.

[0098] During the cruise, when the system receives a task, the F - UAV transitions from the formation following stage to the task execution stage. First, target assignment: obtain the position of the target point, and select a suitable F - UAV to break away from the aerial robot formation to execute the task through a task assignment algorithm (hard constraint: whether the conditions are met; soft constraint: minimizing the cost function); then, target tracking: the selected F - UAV breaks away from the aerial robot formation (judgment condition: greater than the communication distance / leaving the specified range), the aerial robot formation triggers formation reconstruction, and uses the Kuhn - Munkres algorithm (Hungarian algorithm) to re - form a new formation. The detached F - UAV generates a path to the task target point through the artificial potential field method, autonomously navigates to the target point, and executes the preset task. When the assigned task is completed, the F - UAV enters the return stage, generates a path to return to the formation (targeting the L - UAV) through the artificial potential field method, and autonomously navigates. When the F - UAV enters a certain range of the formation, it triggers formation reconstruction to form a new formation.

[0099] Step S30, in response to the instruction to assign tasks to the robot, obtain multiple robots in the robot type set, multiple tasks to be assigned in the task type set, a robot task matching matrix, a maximum benefit matrix, a quotation matrix, and a maximum quotation vector;

[0100] After the speed control model and the robot state model are used to trigger the robot formation reconstruction according to the formation reconstruction trigger parameters, the task allocation module in the multi-robot collaborative operation control system can respond to the instruction to assign tasks to the robots, obtain multiple robots in the robot type set, multiple tasks to be assigned in the task type set, the robot task matching matrix, the maximum benefit matrix, the quotation matrix and the maximum quotation vector; wherein the robot includes an aerial robot or a drone; the robot task matching matrix is ​​used to record the preliminary matching status between the robot and the task; the maximum benefit matrix is ​​used to record the maximum benefit when the robot performs the task; the quotation matrix is ​​used for the robot's quotation for each task; the maximum quotation vector is used to record the current maximum quotation for each task.

[0101] Specifically, in order to achieve efficient performance of multi-robot teams and formations, the application of Multi-Robot Task Allocation (MRTA) in the system is crucial. MRTA refers to the allocation of tasks in the system to different robots to achieve collaborative completion of tasks and maximize resource utilization. In a multi-robot team, the goal of task allocation is to enable each robot to get a suitable task to give full play to its capabilities and improve the overall efficiency, so that the system can obtain a global optimal solution or a suboptimal solution without conflict. In addition, task allocation also plays an important role in multi-robot formations. A formation refers to multiple robots forming a whole according to certain rules and strategies to collaboratively complete tasks. In a formation, task allocation is mainly used in formation reconstruction, that is, tasks are allocated according to the status of the robot and the degree of proximity to the desired position to ensure the efficiency of formation reconstruction. In the process of formation reconstruction, multi-robot task allocation usually allocates the position set of the desired formation to the robots in the formation. The purpose of this task allocation is to adapt the formation to the changing environmental conditions and achieve an ideal configuration.

[0102] Step S40, using a preset auction algorithm to allocate the to-be-allocated tasks in the task type set to the robots in the robot type set according to the robot task matching matrix, the maximum profit matrix, the bid matrix and the maximum bid vector, so as to determine the optimal allocation relationship between the to-be-allocated tasks and the robots;

[0103] After obtaining multiple robots in the robot type set, multiple tasks to be assigned in the task type set, a robot task matching matrix, a maximum benefit matrix, a bid matrix, and a maximum bid vector, a preset auction algorithm is used to assign the tasks to be assigned in the task type set to the robots in the robot type set according to the robot task matching matrix, the maximum benefit matrix, the bid matrix, and the maximum bid vector, so as to determine the optimal allocation relationship between the tasks to be assigned and the robots;

[0104] In a specific embodiment, a preset auction algorithm is used to allocate the tasks to be allocated in the task type set to the robots in the robot type set according to the robot task matching matrix, the maximum benefit matrix, the bid matrix and the maximum bid vector, so as to determine the optimal allocation relationship between the tasks to be allocated and the robots, including:

[0105] Step S401, obtaining a robot position set, a robot type set, a task position set, a task type set, a robot task matching matrix O, a maximum benefit matrix V, a quotation matrix P and a maximum quotation vector b;

[0106] Step S402: Based on the robot task matching matrix O, for each robot i and each task to be assigned j, calculate and determine the benefit of the robot i for the task to be assigned j, and the calculation formula is expressed as:

[0107] 0t j =(-present)

[0108] Among them, α ij represents the benefit of robot i for the assigned task j, o ij represents the matching degree of robot i to the assigned task j, v ij represents the maximum benefit of robot i for the assigned task j, b j represents the maximum bid for task j to be assigned;

[0109] Step S403: Find the task j with the highest profit to be assigned * The next highest reward to be assigned task k, according to the task j to be assigned * And the task k to be assigned is quoted to determine whether robot i should assign task j * Quote , and its calculation formula is expressed as:

[0110]

[0111] in, Represents robot i's attitude towards assigned task j * The quote, represents the task j to be assigned * The maximum offer, Represents robot i for the task j to be assigned * The income, α ik The benefit of robot i for the assigned task k, b k represents the maximum bid of the task k to be assigned, ∈ is a constant used to avoid extreme fluctuations in bids;

[0112] Step S404: Start assigning tasks based on the robot's bid. For each task j to be assigned, find the robot i with the highest bid for the task j to be assigned. * , update the maximum bid b of the task j to be assigned j Update the optimal allocation list for the robot's quotation and record the optimal allocation relationship between tasks and robots;

[0113] Step S405: After each iteration, check whether all tasks have been assigned. If so, end the loop and return the optimal assignment list; otherwise, continue to iterate until all tasks have been assigned.

[0114] Step S50, obtain the robot position set, expected position set and distance between the robot and the target position corresponding to the unassigned task robot, and use the preset Hungarian algorithm to determine the optimal target position corresponding to the unassigned task robot based on the robot position set, expected position set and distance between the robot and the target position to complete the control of multi-robot collaborative operation.

[0115] After allocating the to-be-assigned tasks in the task type set to the robots in the robot type set to determine the optimal allocation relationship between the to-be-assigned tasks and the robots, the robot position set, the expected position set and the distance between the robot and the target position corresponding to the unassigned task robots are obtained, and the preset Hungarian algorithm is used to determine the optimal target position corresponding to the unassigned task robots based on the robot position set, the expected position set and the distance between the robot and the target position to complete the control of multi-robot collaborative operation.

[0116] In a specific embodiment, the steps of obtaining a robot position set, an expected position set, and a distance between the robot and the target position corresponding to an unassigned task robot, and using a preset Hungarian algorithm to determine the optimal target position corresponding to the unassigned task robot according to the robot position set, the expected position set, and the distance between the robot and the target position include:

[0117] Step S501, obtaining a robot position in a robot position set and a target position in the expected position set;

[0118] Step S502: Calculate and determine an edge weight matrix W according to the robot position and the target position, wherein each element wij in the edge weight matrix W represents the cost or distance between the robot i and the target position j;

[0119] Step S503: Initialize the left top label X and the right top label Y, where X={x i =max(w ij )},Y={y j =0}, x i is the top mark of the robot position, indicating the offset of the robot, x i =max(w ij ) is the maximum cost that robot i can reach to target position j, y j is the top mark of the target position, indicating the offset of the target position;

[0120] Step S504: for each robot i, determine whether the edge weight between robot i and target position j satisfies: i +y j = =w ij , if satisfied, robot i matches target position j, and the optimal matching array is updated;

[0121] Step S505: If not satisfied, calculate and determine the adjustment amount d, and modify the top mark value x i and j , x i Adjust to x i =x i -d, replace y j Adjust to y j =y j +d;

[0122] Step S506: Repeat the above steps until all robots are assigned to the target positions in the expected position set, so as to determine the optimal target position corresponding to the unassigned task robot.

[0123] It can be seen from the above embodiments that, compared with the prior art, the present application aims at solving the problems that when the aerial robot formation performs complex tasks in the prior art, the task allocation complexity and the amount of calculation are large, and the real-time and adaptability of the optimization algorithm are poor in a variable task environment. The present application includes but is not limited to the following beneficial effects:

[0124] First, the present application is a multi-robot formation system, which can give different aerial robots basic intelligence and configure different equipment suitable for different tasks.

[0125] Second, this application uses task allocation algorithms such as auction algorithms and Hungarian algorithms to allocate tasks of different types and requirements to appropriate drones, ensuring that the assigned aerial robots can efficiently complete the tasks through the equipment they carry, thereby improving the efficiency of task execution;

[0126] Thirdly, the present application ensures that the remaining aerial robots in the formation can change formation according to actual needs through an adaptive formation reconstruction strategy, thereby improving the environmental adaptability of the multi-robot formation system.

[0127] In summary, this application not only improves the execution efficiency, flexibility and adaptability of the system, but also enhances the stability, scalability and maintainability of the system through the design of a multi-robot formation system, the use of task allocation algorithms such as auction algorithms and Hungarian algorithms, and adaptive formation reconstruction strategies and other technologies. By sharing the burden among multiple lightweight robots, it can effectively reduce costs and improve the efficiency of task execution, ultimately providing efficient and reliable solutions for complex and changeable tasks.
