Abstract:In this paper, we present an advanced strategy for the coordinated control of a multi-agent aerospace system, utilizing Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) within a reinforcement learning framework. Our approach centers on optimizing autonomous task assignment to enhance the system's operational efficiency in object relocation tasks, framed as an aerospace-oriented pick-and-place scenario. By modeling this coordination challenge within a MuJoCo environment, we employ a deep reinforcement learning algorithm to train a DNN-based policy to maximize task completion rates across the multi-agent system. The objective function is explicitly designed to maximize effective object transfer rates, leveraging neural network capabilities to handle complex state and action spaces in high-dimensional aerospace environments. Through extensive simulation, we benchmark the proposed method against a heuristic combinatorial approach rooted in game-theoretic principles, demonstrating a marked performance improvement, with the trained policy achieving up to 16\% higher task efficiency. Experimental validation is conducted on a multi-agent hardware setup to substantiate the efficacy of our approach in a real-world aerospace scenario.
Abstract:Path planning module is a key module for autonomous vehicle navigation, which directly affects its operating efficiency and safety. In complex environments with many obstacles, traditional planning algorithms often cannot meet the needs of intelligence, which may lead to problems such as dead zones in unmanned vehicles. This paper proposes a path planning algorithm based on DDQN and combines it with the prioritized experience replay method to solve the problem that traditional path planning algorithms often fall into dead zones. A series of simulation experiment results prove that the path planning algorithm based on DDQN is significantly better than other methods in terms of speed and accuracy, especially the ability to break through dead zones in extreme environments. Research shows that the path planning algorithm based on DDQN performs well in terms of path quality and safety. These research results provide an important reference for the research on automatic navigation of autonomous vehicles.
