Abstract
Multi-robot environmental coverage can be widely used in many applications like search and rescue. However, it is challenging to coordinate the robot team for high coverage efficiency. In this paper, we propose a Two-Stage Coordination (TSC) strategy, which consists of a high-level leader module and a low-level action executor. The former provides the robots with the topology and geometry of the environment, which are crucial for robots to learn “where” they should go and avoid invalid coverage. Based on the observed information and the environmental topology, the latter module takes primitive action to reach the sub-goal. To facilitate cooperation among the robots, we aggregate local perception information of neighbors from different hops based on graph neural networks. We compare our method with state-of-the-art multi-robot coverage approaches. Experiments and supporting ablation studies show the superior efficiency, scalability, and generalization of our algorithm especially in unseen style and scale of scenes, and an unseen number of robots.

  • Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
  • We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
  • We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
  • The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
  • Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
