未知环境下基于改进Glasius生物启发神经网络的多机器人协作多目标搜索

Multi-Robot Cooperative Multi-Target Search in Unknown Environments Based on an Improved Glasius Bio-Inspired Neural Network

  • 摘要: 针对未知环境下多机器人协作多目标搜索中存在的重复覆盖、路径振荡与协作效率不足问题,在 Glasius 生物启发神经网络(GBNN)基础上,提出了一种改进模型(IGBNN)及其分布式协作搜索框架。首先,将未知环境离散为栅格并与神经元一一对应,结合探测地图实时更新外部刺激项,构建随环境变化的神经活动势场。其次,引入了基于转向角的高斯方向权重与活性传输阈值,抑制离散决策导致的活性突变,降低无效转弯并缓解局部死锁。最后,设计了环境介导的分布式协作机制,实现多机器人之间的局部信息共享与冲突规避。仿真实验结果表明,在 40×40 复杂场景中的 40 目标搜索任务中,所提方法在保持 100% 搜索成功率的基础上,相较 GBNN平均转弯次数降低了 25.8%,完成全目标搜索的平均步数减少了 15.1%,验证了所提算法在未知复杂环境中具有更高的搜索效率与协作搜索性能。

     

    Abstract: To address redundant exploration, trajectory oscillations, and limited coordination efficiency in multi-robot multi-target search within unknown environments, we propose an improved Glasius bio-inspired neural network (IGBNN) and a distributed cooperative search framework. Firstly, we discretize the unknown workspace into grid cells that are one-to-one mapped to neurons, and update the external stimulus online based on the exploration map to form a dynamic neural activity landscape. Secondly, we introduce a Gaussian direction weighting derived from the turning angle, together with an activity transmission threshold, to suppress abrupt activity changes caused by discrete decisions, thereby reducing ineffective turns and alleviating local deadlocks. Finally, we design an environment-mediated distributed coordination mechanism for local information sharing and conflict avoidance among robots. Matlab simulations in a 40×40 complex scenario with 40 targets show that, while maintaining a 100% success rate, the proposed method reduces the average number of turns by 25.8% and the average number of steps required to complete the full-target search by 15.1% compared with GBNN, confirming its advantages in search efficiency and cooperative performance in complex unknown environments.
