id % 智能体ID
position % 位置 [x,y,z]
velocity % 速度 [vx,vy,vz]
acceleration % 加速度 [ax,ay,az]
orientation % 姿态 [roll,pitch,yaw]
max_speed % 最大速度
max_accel % 最大加速度
neighbors % 邻居列表
role % 角色: 'leader' or 'follower'
end
methods
function obj = Agent(id, pos, vel, max_speed, max_accel)
obj.id = id;
obj.position = pos(:); % 确保列向量
obj.velocity = vel(:);
obj.max_speed = max_speed;
obj.max_accel = max_accel;
obj.orientation = zeros(3,1);
obj.role = 'follower';
end
function updateKinematics(obj, dt)
% 更新位置和速度 (欧拉积分)
obj.position = obj.position + obj.velocity * dt;
obj.velocity = obj.velocity + obj.acceleration * dt;
% 速度限幅
speed = norm(obj.velocity);
if speed > obj.max_speed
obj.velocity = obj.velocity * (obj.max_speed / speed);
end
end
end
end
2.2 编队控制算法
2.2.1 领航-跟随法
matlab
function [acceleration] = leaderFollowerControl(agent, leader, formation_offset)
% 领航-跟随法控制律
% agent: 当前智能体
% leader: 领航者智能体
% formation_offset: 编队偏移量 [dx,dy,dz]
% 期望位置 = 领航者位置 + 编队偏移
desired_pos = leader.position + formation_offset';
% PD控制器参数
Kp = diag([0.5, 0.5, 0.8]); % 比例增益 (z轴权重更大)
Kd = diag([0.8, 0.8, 0.5]); % 微分增益
% 位置误差
pos_error = desired_pos - agent.position;
% 速度误差 (假设期望速度与领航者相同)
vel_error = leader.velocity - agent.velocity;
% 计算加速度
acceleration = Kp * pos_error + Kd * vel_error;
% 加速度限幅
accel_norm = norm(acceleration);
if accel_norm > agent.max_accel
acceleration = acceleration * (agent.max_accel / accel_norm);
end
end
2.2.2 虚拟结构法
matlab
function [acceleration] = virtualStructureControl(agent, virtual_leader, formation_point)
% 虚拟结构法控制律
% agent: 当前智能体
% virtual_leader: 虚拟领航者
% formation_point: 编队点在虚拟结构上的位置
% 虚拟结构位置 = 虚拟领航者位置 + 编队点位置
virtual_pos = virtual_leader.position + formation_point';
% 虚拟结构速度 = 虚拟领航者速度
virtual_vel = virtual_leader.velocity;
% PD控制器
Kp = diag([0.6, 0.6, 0.7]);
Kd = diag([0.7, 0.7, 0.6]);
pos_error = virtual_pos - agent.position;
vel_error = virtual_vel - agent.velocity;
acceleration = Kp * pos_error + Kd * vel_error;
% 加速度限幅
accel_norm = norm(acceleration);
if accel_norm > agent.max_accel
acceleration = acceleration * (agent.max_accel / accel_norm);
end
end
2.2.3 行为法
matlab
function [acceleration] = behaviorBasedControl(agent, neighbors, target, obstacles)
% 行为法控制律
% agent: 当前智能体
% neighbors: 邻居智能体列表
% target: 目标位置
% obstacles: 障碍物列表
% 行为权重
w_goal = 0.7; % 目标吸引权重
w_avoid = 1.2; % 避障权重
w_align = 0.3; % 速度对齐权重
w_cohesion = 0.2; % 聚集权重
w_separation = 0.8;% 分离权重
% 1. 目标吸引行为
goal_dir = target - agent.position;
goal_dist = norm(goal_dir);
if goal_dist > 0.1
goal_dir = goal_dir / goal_dist;
end
acc_goal = 0.5 * goal_dir;
% 2. 避障行为
acc_avoid = zeros(3,1);
for obs = obstacles
obs_pos = obs.position;
obs_radius = obs.radius;
rel_pos = agent.position - obs_pos;
dist = norm(rel_pos);
if dist < 5 * obs_radius % 避障作用范围
avoid_dir = rel_pos / dist;
avoid_strength = min(1.0, (5*obs_radius - dist)/(5*obs_radius));
acc_avoid = acc_avoid + w_avoid * avoid_strength * avoid_dir;
end
end
% 3. 速度对齐行为
avg_vel = zeros(3,1);
if ~isempty(neighbors)
for nb = neighbors
avg_vel = avg_vel + nb.velocity;
end
avg_vel = avg_vel / length(neighbors);
acc_align = w_align * (avg_vel - agent.velocity);
else
acc_align = zeros(3,1);
end
% 4. 聚集行为
center = zeros(3,1);
if ~isempty(neighbors)
for nb = neighbors
center = center + nb.position;
end
center = center / length(neighbors);
cohesion_dir = center - agent.position;
dist = norm(cohesion_dir);
if dist > 0.1
cohesion_dir = cohesion_dir / dist;
end
acc_cohesion = w_cohesion * cohesion_dir;
else
acc_cohesion = zeros(3,1);
end
% 5. 分离行为
sep_dir = zeros(3,1);
for nb = neighbors
rel_pos = agent.position - nb.position;
dist = norm(rel_pos);
if dist < 2.0 % 分离作用范围
sep_dir = sep_dir + rel_pos / (dist^2);
end
end
acc_separation = w_separation * sep_dir;
% 综合所有行为
acceleration = acc_goal + acc_avoid + acc_align + acc_cohesion + acc_separation;
% 加速度限幅
accel_norm = norm(acceleration);
if accel_norm > agent.max_accel
acceleration = acceleration * (agent.max_accel / accel_norm);
end
end

领航-跟随法:增大Kp可提高响应速度,增大Kd可减少超调
-
虚拟结构法:虚拟领航者位置应平滑更新(低通滤波)
-
行为法:权重参数需根据环境复杂度调整(避障权重>聚集权重>对齐权重)
-
-
实际部署挑战:
-
通信延迟:增加时延补偿模块
-
定位误差:融合GPS/IMU/视觉SLAM
-
风扰影响:增加鲁棒控制项
