低传感受限空间虚拟管道下多无人机轨迹跟踪与去冲突协同控制

Cooperative Control for Multi-UAV Trajectory Tracking and Deconfliction in Low-Sensing Confined Spaces with Virtual Tubes

  • 摘要: 针对工业厂房、综合管廊与仓储园区等受限空间中多无人机协同巡检在通道狭窄、遮挡频发条件下易发生拥塞与近距交互冲突,且受定位不稳定与机载算力有限的问题,本文提出一种基于虚拟管道几何分层与学习增强的多无人机协同去冲突方法。在几何规划层构建中心线与变半径的虚拟管道,并在弗勒内标架(Frenet Frame)下生成可分配子通道与连续参考子轨迹,实现宏观空间隔离;在学习层,设计冲突感知共享参数多智能体近端策略优化控制器(Multi-Agent Proximal Policy Optimization with Parameter Sharing, MA-PPO-PS),构建由进度、偏差、安全裕度与邻机信息等组成的低维结构化观测,将决策约束为切向速度意图,并由纯追踪(Pure Pursuit, PP)提供横向几何纠偏,在机间距离小于安全阈值时叠加势场型排斥速度项以抑制近距冲突。基于AirSim仿真平台的五机迷宫场景实验显示,飞行过程未发生碰撞,机间最小距离始终大于0.6 m;在相同任务完成率条件下,相较分布式规则控制器横向跟踪误差降低。结果表明,该方法可在低传感约束下兼顾协同通行安全与轨迹跟踪精度。

     

    Abstract: For multi-UAV cooperative inspection in confined spaces such as industrial plants, utility tunnels, and warehouse parks, narrow passages and frequent occlusions often lead to congestion and close-range interaction conflicts, while unstable localization and limited onboard computing further hinder real-time deployment. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a multi-UAV cooperative deconfliction method that integrates virtual-tube-based geometric layering with learning enhancement. In the geometric planning layer, a virtual tube parameterized by a centerline and a variable radius is constructed, and allocable sub-channels and continuous reference sub-trajectories are generated in the Frenet frame to achieve macroscopic spatial separation. In the learning layer, a conflict-aware Multi-Agent Proximal Policy Optimization controller with parameter sharing (MA-PPO-PS) is developed, which employs a low-dimensional structured observation composed of progress, lateral deviation, safety margin, and neighboring-agent information, constrains the policy output to a tangential-speed intention, and uses Pure Pursuit (PP) for lateral geometric correction; when the inter-agent distance falls below a safety threshold, a potential-field-type repulsive velocity term is superimposed to suppress close-range conflicts. Five-UAV maze-scenario experiments on the AirSim simulation platform demonstrate that no collision occurs during flight and the minimum inter-agent distance remains above 0.6 m; under the same task completion rate, the proposed method reduces lateral tracking error compared with a distributed rule-based controller. These results indicate that the proposed approach can simultaneously ensure safe cooperative passage and accurate trajectory tracking under low-sensing constraints.
