Abstract
A distributed four-dimensional (4D) trajectory generation method based on multi-agent Q learning is presented for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Based on this method, each vehicle can intelligently generate collision-free 4D trajectories for time-constrained cooperative flight tasks. For a single UAV, the 4D trajectory is generated by the bionic improved tau gravity guidance strategy, which can synchronously guide the position and velocity to the desired values at the arrival time. Furthermore, to optimise trajectory parameters, the continuous state and action wire fitting neural network Q (WFNNQ) learning method is applied. For multi-UAV applications, the learning is organised by the win or learn fast-policy hill climbing (WoLF-PHC) algorithm. Dynamic simulation results show that the proposed method can efficiently provide 4D trajectories for the multi-UAV system in challenging simultaneous arrival tasks, and the fully trained method can be used in similar trajectory generation scenarios.
