Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of autonomous navigation and swarm intelligence collaborative control technology for unmanned systems. Specifically, it relates to a brain-like autonomous navigation method for unmanned swarms based on swarm intelligence, which is applicable to cognitive map utilization, path planning, local obstacle avoidance, memory linkage decision-making and collaborative navigation control of unmanned swarms in complex dynamic environments. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of autonomous and swarm technologies for unmanned systems, unmanned swarms have significant application value in tasks such as environmental exploration, emergency rescue, regional inspection, intelligent transportation, and collaborative reconnaissance. Existing unmanned navigation methods mostly employ a hierarchical framework combining perception mapping, path planning, and motion control, achieving certain results in static or structured environments. However, in complex dynamic environments, unmanned swarms face problems such as incomplete local perception, dynamic obstacle interference, frequent path conflicts, limited communication, and difficulties in multi-agent collaboration. Traditional path planning methods based on grid maps, geometric maps, or single cost functions struggle to simultaneously express environmental topological relationships, spatial metric relationships, and historical travel experience. Local obstacle avoidance methods often rely solely on current observations, lacking predictions of future states of dynamic obstacles and regression constraints on the global path, easily leading to path oscillations, local deadlocks, and frequent replanning. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an autonomous navigation method for unmanned swarms that integrates cognitive maps, memory mechanisms, dynamic obstacle avoidance, and group collaborative decision-making. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing unmanned swarm navigation methods, such as insufficient environmental representation capabilities, loose coupling between global path planning and local obstacle avoidance, weak dynamic obstacle prediction capabilities, difficulty in effectively resolving group path conflicts, and insufficient utilization of historical experience, this paper proposes a brain-like autonomous navigation method for unmanned swarms based on swarm intelligence. This method uses the topological cognitive map and cooperative localization results already constructed by the unmanned swarm as a foundation, unifying environmental nodes, connectivity relationships, spatial distances, and task constraints into a global navigation space. Based on this, global path construction is performed using brain-like impulse propagation, reward modulation, and path memory mechanisms, and conflict-free path allocation is achieved through group path intent synchronization and conflict suppression. Simultaneously, local path planning is completed by combining short-term memory, dynamic obstacle prediction, and a dynamic neural field model. Furthermore, the global path and local obstacle avoidance paths are fused through long-term and short-term memory linkage calibration. Finally, the final navigation decision output is completed using a group consensus decision-making and execution feedback correction mechanism, thereby improving the autonomous navigation capability, cooperative decision-making capability, and task execution stability of the unmanned swarm in complex dynamic environments.

[0004] A brain-like autonomous navigation method for unmanned swarms based on swarm intelligence, characterized by the following steps: Step 1: Using the topological cognitive map and collaborative localization results already constructed by the unmanned swarm as input, extract the node connectivity, spatial metric relationships, task target location and environmental constraint information in the environment to construct a global navigation space for autonomous navigation of the unmanned swarm. Step 2: In the global navigation space constructed in Step 1, a global path construction method driven by a cognitive map is used to search for paths, and the environmental topology relationship and cognitive cost information are fused to generate a globally feasible path that meets the requirements of the unmanned swarm mission. Step 3: During the navigation process of the unmanned swarm along the global path, acquire dynamic obstacle information, perceived noise information and local disturbance information in the local environment in real time, construct a local environment state representation model, and perform local path planning based on the model; Step 4: Combine the global path construction results obtained in Step 2 with the local path planning results obtained in Step 3 to form a candidate navigation decision set for the unmanned swarm at the current navigation moment; Step 5: Perform memory linkage calibration on the candidate navigation decision set formed in Step 4, and jointly process historical travel experience, risk area information and replanning strategy to complete the final navigation decision arbitration and output the autonomous navigation result of the unmanned swarm.

[0005] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this invention has the following advantages: This invention constructs a global navigation space through a topological cognitive map, which can uniformly express the connectivity relationships of environmental nodes, spatial metric relationships, and task constraint information, thereby improving spatial cognitive ability in complex environments. Global path construction is achieved through brain-like impulse propagation, reward modulation, and path memory mechanisms, enabling comprehensive optimization among path length, energy consumption, threat cost, and map matching degree, thus improving the reliability of the global path. By fusing dynamic obstacle prediction information with global target guidance information through short-term memory and a dynamic neural field model, the real-time performance and stability of local obstacle avoidance are enhanced, reducing path oscillations and local deadlocks. A long-term memory and short-term memory linkage calibration mechanism enables dynamic fusion of the global path and local obstacle avoidance paths, allowing the agent to promptly return to the global path after obstacle avoidance. A group consensus decision-making and execution feedback correction mechanism improves the path coordination and navigation robustness of unmanned swarms, reducing the risk of path conflicts and collisions among multiple agents. This invention effectively improves the autonomous navigation efficiency, safety, and collaborative stability of unmanned swarms in complex dynamic environments. Attached Figure Description

Distance threshold For node topological feature similarity , These are the weighting coefficients, representing the synaptic connection weights. The larger the value, the lower the path cost between nodes, and the easier it is for the pulse signal to propagate.

[0011] Step 2: In the global navigation space constructed in Step 1, a global path construction method driven by cognitive map is used to search for paths, and the environmental topology relationship and cognitive cost information are fused to generate a globally feasible path that meets the requirements of unmanned swarm mission.

[0012] In the constructed global navigation space, the neuron corresponding to the target node is used as the starting point of the pulse signal, and the pulse wave propagates backward along the neural topology network. The formula for updating the neuron membrane potential is as follows:

When this happens, the intent for that path is highlighted and considered a valid intent; To achieve collaborative and conflict-free global path allocation in an unmanned swarm, the path intentions of each agent are mapped to the phase evolution process of a coupled oscillator, with the following dynamic equation:

[0053] Combination Figure 2 It can be seen that, in the comparison of global path construction, the method of this invention, while satisfying topological connectivity constraints, can comprehensively balance path length, energy consumption, threat cost, and map matching degree. Compared with methods that only pursue the geometric shortest path, although the method of this invention may lead to a slight increase in path length, it can effectively improve the safety margin and reduce the cumulative threat cost, thereby improving the executability and robustness of the global path. Figure 3 It can be seen that, in the presence of dynamic obstacle interference, this invention, through the linkage of short-term memory prediction and dynamic neural field local planning, enables the agent to return to the global reference path after completing local obstacle avoidance. The trajectory continuity is good, and a more reasonable safe distance is maintained from obstacles, demonstrating good dynamic obstacle avoidance stability and path return capability. Combined with... Figure 4 It is evident that the memory-linked calibration mechanism can collaboratively correct historical travel experience, risk area information, and current candidate decisions, reducing deadlock and collision risks, and minimizing invalid replanning. Simultaneously, the experience-enhanced memory strength gradually forms a stable distribution in high-frequency travel areas, providing effective prior knowledge for repetitive tasks and further improving the consistency and efficiency of subsequent navigation decisions.

Assign weight to its own decision-making; To incorporate historical experience, risk area information, and current consensus results into the arbitration process, a reference decision is introduced to adaptively modify the group consensus decision. The expression is as follows: ; in, This represents the final navigation decision of agent i. This refers to reference decisions generated from historical navigation experience, long-term memory paths, or prior knowledge of risk areas. Indicates the adaptive adjustment coefficient; Finally, to evaluate the effectiveness of the final navigation decision and to provide feedback and correction for subsequent navigation arbitration processes, an evaluation index for the effectiveness of the decision is constructed, with the following expression: ; in, This represents the performance evaluation metric for agent i. Indicates positional deviation. Indicates heading deviation. Indicates the neighborhood cooperative distance error. , , To evaluate the weights, , , These represent the maximum permissible values ​​for the corresponding errors.
