New multi-agent pursuit strategy guarantees safety with preemptive communication

Researchers have developed a new strategy for multi-agent coordination that ensures safety even with intermittent communication. This approach uses control barrier functions to guarantee collision avoidance by calculating the reachable set of neighboring agents based on the most recent state information. The system also incorporates a preemptive communication mechanism that triggers state transmissions based on uncertainty and kinematic risks, reducing message traffic by over 77% compared to traditional methods while maintaining zero collisions. AI

IMPACT Enhances robustness and efficiency in multi-agent systems, potentially enabling more reliable robotic deployments in complex environments.

    Robust Multi-Agent Pursuit with Preemptive Communication via Reachability-Based Control Barrier Functions

    Safe multi-agent coordination typically assumes what real-world, deployed, resource-constrained robots cannot provide: continuous, perfect state sharing. Robust control strategies must be complemented with robust communication strategies to deliver resilient deployments. In this …
