Robots use AI planner and controller for complex motion tasks

Researchers have developed a new hierarchical framework for multi-robot motion planning that combines a Graph Attention Planner (GATP) with a decentralized Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller (NMPC). This approach addresses real-world challenges like dynamic feasibility and communication constraints, which are often overlooked by simpler Graph Neural Network methods. The framework was successfully evaluated in both simulations and real-world quadrotor experiments, demonstrating robustness to communication delays and feasibility with decentralized on-board inference.

    Graph Neural Planning and Predictive Control for Multi-Robot Communication-Constrained Unlabeled Motion Planning

    The multi-robot unlabeled motion planning problem of concurrently assigning robots to goals and generating safe trajectories is central in many collaborative tasks. Recent Graph Neural Network methods offer scalable decentralized solutions but rely on simplified dynamics and simu…
