How to avoid collisions in dense multi-agent paths?
Corridor Generating Algorithm for Multi-Agent Pathfinding
October 17, 2024
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2410.12397This paper introduces CGA-MAPF, a new algorithm for coordinating the movement of multiple agents (Multi-Agent Pathfinding). It's like designing a traffic system within a video game or a warehouse.
The algorithm is particularly interesting for LLM-based systems because:
- It's designed to be computationally lighter than some alternatives, making it potentially suitable for systems where LLMs are already handling complex tasks.
- It efficiently resolves conflicts between agents by strategically "evacuating" some agents to let others pass, a concept relevant to managing communication or task allocation in multi-agent LLM applications.
