Multi-robot task allocation method based on chaotic self-adaptive dung beetle optimization algorithm
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of robots, and further relates to a multi-robot task allocation method based on a chaotic self-adaptive dung beetle optimization algorithm in the technical field of multi-robot task allocation. The invention can be applied to a multi-robot system consisting of an unmanned plane, an unmanned ship and the like, and a group of tasks can be effectively distributed to a plurality of heterogeneous robots, so that systematic and efficient coordination can be realized.
Background
In recent years, robots have played an increasingly important role in the military and civilian fields. However, as task demands continue to increase, it is often difficult for a single robot to independently accomplish complex tasks, and multiple robot systems have evolved. In a multi-robot system, task allocation is a key technology that involves how to efficiently allocate a set of tasks to multiple robots to achieve systematically efficient coordination. For example, in the areas of service robots, industrial robots, and unmanned vehicles, reasonable task allocation may improve the overall efficiency of these systems. In particular, unmanned techniques are widely used in the scenes of ground search and rescue, express delivery, mapping, monitoring or exploration. The existing multi-robot task allocation method mainly comprises three types, wherein the first type is a task allocation method based on a traditional algorithm, and the algorithm is mostly aimed at specific structural problems, but is difficult to solve the problem of medium-scale and large-scale multi-robot task allocation. The second is a task allocation method based on reinforcement learning algorithm, and the algorithm has the advantages of high solving speed and strong model generalization capability, but has the problems of long pre-training time, difficult bonus function design and the like. The third is a task allocation method based on intelligent optimization algorithm, which is widely focused by simulating the cooperative behavior of natural biological groups due to the advantages of simplicity, easiness in realization, strong robustness and the like, but has the problem of extremely easy trapping in local optimization when solving the problem of multi-robot task allocation, and reduces the task allocation efficiency.
The university of Nanjing discloses a multi-robot task allocation method of pre-allocation combined with Hungary algorithm in patent literature (application number: 201811385884.1 application date: 2018.11.20 application publication number: CN 109615188A) of Nanjing university. The method comprises the following specific steps: modeling the multi-robot system based on the model of role collaboration; and a second step of: establishing a benefit value matrix Q of all robots for bearing different tasks; and a third step of: optimizing the multi-robot system by judging whether the robots meet the allocation conditions; fourth step: simplifying the benefit value matrix; fifth step: deforming the benefit value matrix according to the number of robots required by each task; sixth step: pre-distributing tasks to obtain an initial distribution matrix T, and further simplifying a benefit value matrix; seventh step: and (3) processing the benefit value matrix simplified in the step (6) by using a Hungary algorithm to perform task allocation, obtaining a final allocation matrix T, and completing task allocation. The method has the defects that the method only aims at the structural environment to realize multi-robot task allocation under the addition of a limiting condition, and the problem of multi-robot task allocation under the unstructured environment such as rescue can not be solved.
The western engineering university discloses a task allocation method based on a task allocation coordination strategy and a particle swarm algorithm in patent literature filed by the western engineering university (application number: 201910980023.6, application date: 2019.10.15, application publication number: CN 110717684A). The method comprises the following specific steps: optimizing the distribution radius by using a particle swarm algorithm to obtain an initial distribution result; and a second step of: adjusting the initial allocation result by using a coordination strategy to finish the first allocation; and a third step of: repeating the first step to the second step, and re-distributing the unassigned tasks until the tasks are completely distributed. The method has the defects that when the method faces large-scale tasks and the number of robots, the particle swarm optimization is utilized to be prone to local convergence, so that the task allocation efficiency is limited, and the expansion is difficult.

Secondly, as the dung beetle optimizing algorithm is introduced to solve the problem of task allocation of multiple robots, the problem that the existing technology is difficult to expand when facing large-scale tasks and the number of robots is solved, so that the invention has the characteristics of parallelism and self-adaption, and when facing large-scale tasks and the number of robots, the algorithm can search for multiple groups simultaneously and automatically adjust the searching strategy so as to adapt to tasks and robots with different scale numbers, thereby being beneficial to improving the expandability of the algorithm.
Thirdly, because the invention introduces the fine chaotic map, the self-adaptive t distribution variation and the dynamic selection probability P operator into the dung beetle optimization algorithm, the problem that the task allocation of multiple robots is inefficient when the problem of the task allocation of the multiple robots is processed in the prior art is solved, so that the invention has higher convergence speed and the capability of jumping out local convergence when the optimal task allocation scheme is selected, and is beneficial to reducing the time of the task allocation of the multiple robots.

The prior art 2 refers to a task scheduling method based on a sparrow search algorithm, which is proposed in a patent application document (application number: CN202011027749.7, application publication number: CN 112199172A) applied by Guilin university in the university of Italian university, which is a hybrid task scheduling method for heterogeneous multi-core processors.

As can be seen from fig. 5: the PSO algorithm has a certain difference with other 4 algorithms in terms of local searching and global optimizing capability; the SSA algorithm optimizes the convergence speed at the early stage faster, but falls into local convergence soon; it can be seen that the DBO algorithm can obtain a better optimization effect before being improved, but is easy to fall into local convergence; compared with DBO, the SDBO algorithm obtains better optimization effect, and proves the effectiveness of the Sine chaotic mapping. The t-SDBO algorithm provided by the invention shows better performance than other 4 algorithms no matter from the optimized result, the earlier convergence speed or the capability of jumping out of local convergence, and shows the feasibility of the t-SDBO in solving the problem of multi-robot task allocation. The programs of the 5 algorithms were run 10 times each, and the average fitness value, the optimal fitness value, and the solving time are shown in table 6.
From the results in table 6, it can be seen that the average fitness value 4.3556 and the optimal fitness value 4.3213 of the t-SDBO algorithm are each better performing than the other 4 algorithms.

The abscissa in fig. 6 (a) represents a scene of different scale, e.g., MRTA0310 on the abscissa represents a scene in which 3 robots perform 10 tasks. The ordinate indicates the fitness minimum.

As can be seen from fig. 6: under 5 experimental scenes, when the solution space is smaller, the performance difference of each algorithm is smaller, but as the number of tasks and the number of robots are increased, the difference of each algorithm is also obviously different, and the t-SDBO algorithm provided by the invention obtains the optimal effect under different problem scales.
