摘要:
自动设计是实现机器人集群的一种有前途的方法。给定一个要由集群执行的任务,自动方法会为单个机器人生成所需的控制软件。自动设计集中于集群可以独立执行的任务,仅与静态环境交互,且不涉及其他主动实体。在本文中,我们研究通过与环境中的其他机器人交互来执行任务的机器人集群设计。我们将研究框架设定在机器人牧羊问题内:即使用一小群机器人(牧羊犬)来协调一个相对较大的群体(羊群)的问题。在我们的研究中,牧羊犬群体是自动设计的集群,而羊群是预先编程的、居住在其环境中的机器人。我们使用自动模块化设计和神经进化来为牧羊犬集群生成控制软件,以协调羊群。我们表明,自动设计可以利用特定任务的交互策略来实现两个群体之间的有效协调。
英文摘要:
Automatic design is a promising approach to realizing robot swarms. Given a mission to be performed by the swarm, an automatic method produces the required control software for the individual robots. Automatic design has concentrated on missions that a swarm can execute independently, interacting only with a static environment and without the involvement of other active entities. In this paper, we investigate the design of robot swarms that perform their mission by interacting with other robots that populate their environment. We frame our research within robot shepherding: the problem of using a small group of robots, the shepherds, to coordinate a relatively larger group, the sheep. In our study, the group of shepherds is the swarm that is automatically designed, and the sheep are pre-programmed robots that populate its environment. We use automatic modular design and neuroevolution to produce the control software for the swarm of shepherds to coordinate the sheep. We show that automatic design can leverage mission-specific interaction strategies to enable an effective coordination between the two groups.
