随便写写记录一下

1. 2005-Cooperative Pathfinding

1.1. LRA*

local repair A*

  • 依次做A*
  • 即将开始碰撞时,replan
  • a general replan solution: 每次重规划时,新增noise,按照比例加入\(h(n)\),使他远离bottle neck

1.2. CA*

Cooperative A*

  • 任务被分解成为一系列单个的A*算法
  • 包含wait action
  • 锁格子,\(f(t,x,y)\)做hash table

1.3. HCA*

Hierarchical Cooperative A*

  • 基于CA*,改进启发式函数
  • Hierarchical A*:将复杂路径稀疏为区域,之后再详细确定某一个区域内的具体路径。并不局限于空间层次。
  • Abstract distances can thus be viewed as perfect estimates of the distance to the destination, ignoring any potential interactions with other agents.
  • use a Reverse Resumable A* (RRA*) search in the abstract domain.
  • RRA* 算法以反向执行修改后的 A* 搜索。搜索从代理的目标 G 开始,向代理的初始位置 O 进发。搜索不是在 O 处终止,而是一直持续到指定节点 N 展开。

1.4. WHCA*

Windowed Hierarchical Cooperative A*

  • 三个问题:

    • 代理停止
    • 排序敏感
    • 无需完整搜索过程
  • A simple solution to all of these issues is to window the search

  • At regular intervals (e.g. when an agent is half-way through its partial route) the window is shifted forwards and a new partial route is computed.

  • 正确性保证?only the cooperative search depth is limited to a fixed depth, while the abstract search is executed to full depth.

  • 一旦w步过后,agent将会被忽略,此时对于每个节点而言,其cost和abstract dist相等,即可以不用后续搜索。因此窗口可以被限制在w步内

  • 如何解决问题1?一旦代理到达其目的地,窗口化搜索可以继续进行。agent的目标不再是到达目的地,but to complete the window via a terminal edge。因此,任何w步的序列都将达到目标,WHCA*搜索将有效地找到最低成本的序列。这个最优序列代表了将agent带到其目的地最近的局部路线,一旦到达那里就会尽可能长时间地停留在目的地。

  • 能够减少重规划次数,By staggering the windows appropriately

  • the RRA* search results can be reused for each consecutive window. This requires each agent to store its own Open and Closed lists

  • 注意RRA*细节:For consistency, it must continue to search towards the agent’s original position O, and not the agent’s current position.

  • 超参数的选取:In general, the window size should be set to the duration of the longest predicted bottleneck.
