Resolving Spatial-Time Conflicts In A Set Of Any-angle Or Angle-constrained Grid Paths
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the multi-agent path finding problem (MAPF) for a group of agents which are allowed to move into arbitrary directions on a 2D square grid. We focus on centralized conflict resolution for independently computed plans. We propose an algorithm that eliminates conflicts by using local re-planning and introducing time offsets to the execution of paths by different agents. Experimental results show that the algorithm can find high quality conflict-free solutions at low computational cost.

Optimal Any-Angle Pathfinding In Practice
Any-angle pathfinding is a fundamental problem in robotics and computer games. The goal is to find a shortest path between a pair of points on a grid map such that the path is not artificially constrained to the points of the grid. Prior research has focused on approximate online solutions. A number of exact methods exist but they all require supra-linear space and pre-processing time. In this ...
متن کاملSpeeding-Up Any-Angle Path-Planning on Grids
Simple Subgoal Graphs are constructed from grids by placing subgoals at the corners of obstacles and connecting them. They are analogous to visibility graphs for continuous terrain but have fewer edges and can be used to quickly find shortest paths on grids. The vertices of a Simple Subgoal Graph can be partitioned into different levels to create N-Level Subgoal Graphs, which can be used to fin...
متن کاملGrid-Based Angle-Constrained Path Planning
Square grids are commonly used in robotics and game development as spatial models and well known in AI community heuristic search algorithms (such as A*, JPS, Theta* etc.) are widely used for path planning on grids. A lot of research is concentrated on finding the shortest (in geometrical sense) paths while in many applications finding smooth paths (rather than the shortest ones but containing ...
متن کاملEdge N-Level Sparse Visibility Graphs: Fast Optimal Any-Angle Pathfinding Using Hierarchical Taut Paths
In the Any-Angle Pathfinding problem, the goal is to find the shortest path between a pair of vertices on a uniform square grid, that is not constrained to any fixed number of possible directions over the grid. Visibility Graphs are a known optimal algorithm for solving the problem with the use of preprocessing. However, Visibility Graphs are known to perform poorly in terms of running time, es...
متن کاملTheta*: Any-Angle Path Planning on Grids
Grids with blocked and unblocked cells are often used to represent terrain in computer games and robotics. However, paths formed by grid edges can be sub-optimal and unrealistic looking, since the possible headings are artificially constrained. We present Theta*, a variant of A*, that propagates information along grid edges without constraining the paths to grid edges. Theta* is simple, fast an...
