Abstract

Abstract:

Distributed decision-making is essential for increasing the autonomy of multi-agent system in the distributed coordinated flight organization structure of Single Pilot Operation （SPO） mode. A coalition task assignment decision model of distributed multi-agent for SPO mode is built on the background of multi-agent collaboration for the execution of complicated tasks， taking into account several constraints such as task load resource requirements， agent resource space， and time windows. Then， we design a function approximation of a Q-valued network， and propose a coalition task allocation algorithm based on Deep Q-Network （DQN） that generates the best execution path of the optimal coalition task allocation results， allowing each agent in the coalition to achieve scheduling optimization in a more adaptive manner. The efficiency and speed of the DQN algorithm in addressing multi-agent coalition task allocation for the SPO mode under complex constraints are confirmed through numerical simulation.

Key words: single pilot operation, multi-agent system, task allocation, coalition formation, deep reinforcement learning, neural network
