Simultaneous Computation with Multiple Prioritizations in Multi-Agent Motion Planning

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper proposes a method that allows agents in multi‑agent motion planning to compute with multiple prioritizations simultaneously, avoiding reliance on domain‑specific heuristics or costly iterative searches. This general approach is applied to receding‑horizon motion planning with system dynamics, and numerical experiments show near‑optimal prioritization and performance gains over state‑of‑the‑art methods with only a slight increase in computation time. Real‑time feasibility is demonstrated on a road network with ten vehicles in a Cyber‑Physical Mobility Lab.

Compact Latent Coordination for Autonomous Vehicles at Unsignalized Intersections

arXiv:2607. 21488v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Coordinating autonomous vehicles at unsignalized intersections remains a critical challenge for multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) systems, which typically struggle with combinatorial action spaces, reliance on privileged information, or rigid agent designs.

A Theoretical Framework for Parallel Lifelong MAPF Using Group Decentralized Planning

The paper presents a theoretical analysis of the Rolling‑Horizon Collision Resolution (RHCR) framework for Lifelong Multi‑Agent Path Finding (L‑MAPF), proving its near‑optimality in a discounted MDP setting. Building on this, the authors introduce Group Decentralized RHCR (GD‑RHCR), which partitions agents via a transitive communication scheme and plans each partition in parallel, achieving similar optimality guarantees while reducing per‑plan computational cost. Experiments across various maps demonstrate that GD‑RHCR scales to higher agent counts with high throughput and lower cost compared to vanilla RHCR.
