Abstract
An Artificial Moment Method (AMM) is proposed for conflict resolution of swarm robots with path planning tasks, where some robots are in narrow passages and close to their targets while many other robots need to pass through the passages. In the AMM, an algorithm based on key companion candidates and their weight times is presented first for key companions of the robots close to their targets. As such, other robots, even with different motion directions, can bypass the robots in a more reasonable manner. Then, two new algorithms are presented for attractive points and attractive angles of robots or to modify the obtained attractive angles. The existing artificial moment motion controller is also improved. Consequently, the negative effects of robots on each other are decreased, and conflicts between robots can be resolved more easily. Simulations indicate that compared with existing AMMs, the proposed one can yield better solutions in complex situations.
