摘要

En 中文
Deadlock avoidance is a crucial problem in motion control of multi-robot systems since deadlocks can crash the systems and /or degrade their performance. However, deadlocks sometimes are difficult to predict in advance because of the existence of higher-order deadlocks, from which a system can lead to a deadlock inevitably. In this paper, we investigate the properties of higher-order deadlocks and propose a distributed approach to their avoidance in multi-robot systems where each robot has a predetermined and closed path to execute persistent motion. After modeling the motion of robots by labeled transition systems (LTSs), we first conclude that there exist at most the (N - 3)-th order deadlocks with N robots. This means that deadlocks, if any, will occur unavoidably within N -3 steps of corresponding transitions. A distributed algorithm is then proposed to avoid deadlocks in such systems. In the algorithm, each robot only needs to look ahead at most N - 1 states, i.e., N - 3 intermediate states and two endpoint states, to decide whether its move can cause higher-order deadlocks. To execute the algorithm, each robot needs to communicate with its neighbors. The theoretical analysis and experimental study show that the proposed algorithm is practically operative.
