Probabilistic Plan Synthesis for Coupled Multi-Agent Systems

Alexandros Nikou, Jana Tumova, Dimos V. Dimarogonas

This paper presents a fully automated procedure for controller synthesis for multi-agent systems under the presence of uncertainties. We model the motion of each of the $N$ agents in the environment as a Markov Decision Process (MDP) and we assign to each agent one individual high-level formula given in Probabilistic Computational Tree Logic (PCTL). Each agent may need to collaborate with other agents in order to achieve a task. The collaboration is imposed by sharing actions between the agents. We aim to design local control policies such that each agent satisfies its individual PCTL formula. The proposed algorithm builds on clustering the agents, MDP products construction and controller policies design. We show that our approach has better computational complexity than the centralized case, which traditionally suffers from very high computational demands.

Multi-Agent Motion Planning and Object Transportation under High Level Goals

Christos Verginis, Dimos Dimarogonas

This paper presents a hybrid control framework for the motion planning of a multi-agent system including N robotic agents and M objects, under high level goals. In particular, we design control protocols that allow the transition of the agents as well as the transportation of the objects by the agents, among predefined regions of interest in the workspace. This allows us to abstract the coupled behavior of the agents and the objects as a finite transition system and to design a high-level multi-agent plan that satisfies the agents' and the objects' specifications, given as temporal logic formulas. Simulation results verify the proposed framework.
