And moreover, the Gaussian mixture model is adopted for grouping, so that the clustering effect is improved, the result distribution effect is further improved, and the robot can execute tasks more efficiently.
The following describes a multi-robot dynamic federation task allocation method provided by the present application by an embodiment.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a multi-robot dynamic federation task allocation method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
In this embodiment, the method may include:
s101, acquiring geographic information of a target area and position information of a target unit;
this step is intended to obtain the geographic information of the target area and the position information of the target unit. The target area is the geographical area where the target unit is located.
The target area geographic information is geographic information of an area where the target unit is located. The geographic information includes, but is not limited to, latitude and longitude information, area size, altitude, geographic environment, weather information, and the like. The target unit location information is location information of each target unit in the target area. The location information may be latitude and longitude information and altitude information.
Correspondingly, in the step, the geographic information of the target area and the position information of the target unit can be obtained in various ways. The judgment can be carried out by GPS acquisition, network position acquisition or manual experience. It can be seen that, in this embodiment, the manner of acquiring the geographic information of the target area and the location information of the target unit is not unique, and is not specifically limited herein.
Further, the step may include:
and acquiring geographic information of a target area and position information of a target unit through the infrared sensing equipment and the geographic information equipment.
Therefore, in the alternative, how to acquire the geographic information of the target area and the position information of the target unit is mainly explained. Further, in the alternative, the information can be obtained through an infrared sensing device and a geographic information device. The geographic information equipment can be GPS or Beidou navigation equipment.
Furthermore, the infrared sensing equipment is unmanned aerial vehicle infrared sensing equipment, and the geographic information equipment is GPS equipment and/or big dipper navigation satellite equipment.
S102, performing target task grouping processing on target area geographic information and target unit position information according to a Gaussian mixture model to obtain a plurality of task groups;
and on the basis of S101, performing target task grouping processing on the target area geographic information and the target unit position information according to a Gaussian mixture model to obtain a plurality of task groups.
Since the present embodiment mainly controls a plurality of robots, not a single task execution device performs all tasks. In order to improve the efficiency of the robot in processing tasks, all robots may be configured to execute simultaneously, i.e., to process tasks in parallel. However, not all robots are equally divided to each task. Mainly because the distance between the target units is closer or farther, the closer units can be set as a group for processing so as to save resources. Therefore, all the target tasks are grouped in this step.
Specifically, a gaussian mixture model is used for grouping. The gaussian model is a model formed based on a gaussian probability density function (normal distribution curve) by accurately quantizing objects by using the gaussian probability density function (normal distribution curve) and decomposing one object into a plurality of objects. The principle and process of establishing a Gaussian model for an image background are as follows: the image gray level histogram reflects the frequency of occurrence of a certain gray level in an image, and may also be an estimate of the probability density of the image gray level. If the difference between the target area and the background area contained in the image is large and the background area and the target area have a certain difference in gray level, the gray level histogram of the image is in a double-peak-valley shape, wherein one peak corresponds to the target and the other peak corresponds to the central gray level of the background.
Further, the step may include:
step 1, initializing a Gaussian mode according to the total number of the robots to obtain a Gaussian mixture model;
and 2, solving the Gaussian mixture model by adopting an EM algorithm according to the geographic information of the target area and the position information of the target unit to obtain a plurality of task groups.
It can be seen that the present alternative is mainly to group tasks under the limit of the total number of robots. In the alternative, a Gaussian mode is initialized according to the total number of the robots to obtain a Gaussian mixture model; and then solving the Gaussian mixture model by using an EM algorithm according to the geographic information of the target area and the position information of the target unit to obtain a plurality of task groups. The EM algorithm is an Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm, is a type of optimization algorithm for maximum likelihood estimation through iteration, and is generally used as a substitute for a newton iteration method for parameter estimation of a probability model containing hidden variables or missing data.
Therefore, the total number of the robots is adopted for constraint in the alternative scheme, so that the task grouping better meets the requirement of the actual situation, and the effectiveness of the application of the scheme is improved.
Further, step 2 in the last alternative may include:
step 1, coordinate processing is carried out on geographic information of a target area and position information of a target unit to obtain coordinates of all the target units;
and 2, solving the Gaussian mixture model by adopting an EM algorithm according to all target unit coordinates to obtain a plurality of task groups.
It can be seen that this alternative is primarily illustrative of step 2 in the previous alternative. In the alternative scheme, coordinate processing is carried out on geographic information of a target area and position information of target units to obtain all target unit coordinates, and the Gaussian mixture model is solved according to all the target unit coordinates by adopting an EM algorithm to obtain a plurality of task groups. The method mainly comprises the steps of firstly realizing coordinate transformation and then grouping tasks. This alternative describes a way to convert geographic information and location information to improve the accuracy of location processing.
And S103, performing dynamic task planning processing on the robots distributed by each task group according to the performance information of each robot to obtain a task sequence of each robot.
On the basis of S102, this step is intended to perform dynamic task planning processing on the robots assigned to each task group according to the actual performance of the robots, so as to obtain a sequence of each robot. First, it is necessary to determine how many robots are assigned to each task group according to all robots and all task groups. Each robot then faces multiple tasks in each task group. Therefore, how each robot cooperates with other robots, when a certain task is executed, needs to be optimized so as to improve the execution efficiency of the robots. That is, a task sequence of each robot is obtained.
It can be seen that, in this embodiment, a corresponding task sequence is set for each robot, and each robot can cooperate with other robots according to the task sequence to complete a plurality of tasks.
Further, the step may include:
step 1, determining a multi-constraint condition of each robot according to the performance information of each robot;
step 2, determining a plurality of robots distributed by each task group according to the number of target units of each task group, and using the robots as a robot alliance of each task group;
step 3, establishing a task sequence distribution model for each robot alliance according to the multi-constraint condition of each robot;
and 4, solving the task sequence distribution model according to the linear planner to obtain the task sequence of each robot.
It can be seen that the present alternative is mainly described how to obtain a task sequence for each robot. In the alternative scheme, the multi-constraint condition of each robot is determined according to the performance information of each robot, the multiple robots distributed by each task group are determined according to the number of target units of each task group and serve as the robot alliances of each task group, a task sequence distribution model is established for each robot alliance according to the multi-constraint condition of each robot, and the task sequence distribution model is solved according to a linear planner to obtain the task sequence of each robot. Namely, the robot corresponding to each task group is used as a robot alliance, and then the task is distributed in each robot alliance through the multi-constraint condition of each robot. Wherein the multi-constraint condition comprises performance requirements and resource requirements of the task. Wherein the performance requirements include sensing capabilities of the robot and motion capabilities of the robot. The resource requirements comprise the requirements of the robot for conveying food resources and medicine resources and the energy requirements of the robot in the process of completing tasks.
Further, this embodiment may further include:
and sending the task sequence to the corresponding robot so that the robot executes the task according to the task sequence.
It can be seen that in this alternative, the task sequence of each robot is sent to the corresponding robot.
In summary, in this embodiment, target tasks are grouped according to the obtained target area geographic information and the target unit location information to obtain a plurality of task groups, then the plurality of task groups are subjected to dynamic task planning processing according to the performance information of each robot to obtain a task sequence that each robot needs to execute, the performance information of the robot is added in the task allocation process, and the applicability of the method is improved by considering various conditions in the task allocation process. And moreover, the Gaussian mixture model is adopted for grouping, so that the clustering effect is improved, the result distribution effect is further improved, and the robot can execute tasks more efficiently.
The multi-robot dynamic federation task allocation method provided by the present application is further described below by another specific embodiment.
