AGCO-MATA: Air-Ground Collaborative Multi-Agent Task Allocation in Mobile Crowdsensing
This paper tackles the problem of efficiently assigning tasks to a mixed team of UAVs and UGVs for mobile crowdsensing. It considers two scenarios: too few agents for many urgent tasks (AG-FAMT) and ample agents for fewer, longer-term tasks (AG-MAFT). For AG-FAMT, a modified minimum-cost maximum-flow algorithm maximizes task completion while minimizing travel. For AG-MAFT, a weighted integer linear programming approach balances travel time and distance, incorporating a novel predictive charging trajectory planning algorithm for UAVs to recharge via UGVs for sustained operation.
Key points for LLM-based multi-agent systems: The dynamic task allocation strategies, balancing competing objectives like speed and coverage, are relevant to coordinating LLM agents. The predictive charging trajectory planning mirrors the need for efficient resource management within a multi-agent LLM application. Adapting algorithms like MT-MCMF and W-ILP for virtual resource allocation in LLM agents could improve efficiency and response time. The paper highlights the challenge of balancing potentially conflicting goals (e.g., task completion vs. resource usage) within multi-agent systems, a direct parallel to LLM agent management.
