中文摘要
连续环境下的多智能体路径规划(MAPP)通常依赖路网图来平衡安全性与搜索效率。然而,传统的路网图生成方法(如栅格 lattice、标准采样方法)常面临图密度与可行解存在性之间的权衡。该论文提出一种可扩展的异构图神经网络(GNN)框架,用于自动生成与评估多智能体共享路网图。模型将路径点、智能体位置、任务位置表示为异构图中的不同节点,从而在全局连通性与智能体间交互上进行推理。通过在由专家求解器轨迹聚合得到的位置密度图上训练,GNN 学习识别关键兴趣点,并剪枝冗余节点与边。该流程产出一个紧致且具备协同感知能力的路网图,对任务置换不变,可复用于多智能体取送任务。实验结果表明,该框架能减少规划开销并潜在地找到更优的解,在稠密路网图上实现运行时间与图规模至少 40% 的缩减。

原始英文摘要
arXiv:2610.09034v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-agent path planning (MAPP) in continuous environments often relies on roadmaps to balance safety and search efficiency. However, traditional roadmap generation methods, such as lattice grids or standard sampling-based approaches, frequently face a trade-off between graph density and the likelihood of finding feasible, high-quality solutions. In this paper, we propose a scalable heterogeneous Graph Neural Network (GNN) framework for the automated generation and evaluation of shared multi-agent roadmaps. Our model covers the representation of waypoints, agent locations, and task locations as distinct nodes in a heterogeneous graph, allowing it to reason over global connectivity and inter-agent interactions. By training on occupation density maps aggregated and collected from expert solver trajectories, the GNN learns to identify critical points of interest and prune redundant nodes and edges. This process produces a compact, coordination-aware roadmap that is invariant to task permutations and is reusable for multi-agent pick and delivery tasks. Experimental results demonstrate that our framework can reduce planning effort and can potentially find better solutions, reaching at least 40% reduction in runtime and in graph size for dense roadmaps.
