Intent-aware spatiotemporal risk field for multi-AGV path planning with heterogeneous dynamic obstacles
摘要
Modern warehouse automation increasingly relies on multi-agent path coordination under heterogeneous, dynamic constraints. Most existing MAPF approaches treat all obstacles uniformly, overlooking the fundamental distinction between communicable agent peers and non-communicable moving obstacles (e.g., forklifts, hand-carts). This paper presents a heterogeneous dynamic obstacle-aware multi-AGV planning framework comprising three integrated components: (1) a Transformer-based trajectory predictor for external obstacles with calibrated uncertainty quantification (87% action accuracy, ADE=1.14); (2) an intent-aware spatiotemporal risk map that differentiates threat levels based on obstacle type and predicted intent; (3) a dual-layer planning architecture integrating risk-aware A* for collision avoidance with an iterative conflict resolution mechanism for multi-agent coordination. Experiments on 13 benchmark maps demonstrate the approach outperforms baselines (PBS, LNS) across 5–10 agent scenarios in success rate, collision count, and makespan. The method achieves 25–370
