  • Evolving Behaviour Trees for Supervisory Control of Robot Swarms
    Evolving Behaviour Trees for Supervisory Control of Robot Swarms Elliott Hogg1y, Sabine Hauert1, David Harvey, Arthur Richards1 1Bristol Robotics Laboratory, University of Bristol, UK. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: Supervisory control of swarms is essential to their deployment in real world scenarios to both monitor their operation and provide guidance. We explore mechanisms by which humans might provide supervisory control to swarms and improve their performance. Rather than have humans guess the correct form of supervisory control, we use artificial evolution to learn effective human-readable strategies to help human operators understanding and performance when con- trolling swarms. These strategies can be thoroughly tested and can provide knowledge to be used in the future in a variety of scenarios. Behaviour trees are applied to represent human readable decision strategies which are produced through evolution. We investigate a simulated set of scenarios where a swarm of robots have to explore varying environments and reach sets of objectives. Effective supervisory control strategies are evolved to explore each environment using different local swarm behaviours. The evolved behaviour trees are animated alongside swarm simulations to enable clear under- standing of the supervisory strategies. We conclude by identifying the strengths in accelerated testing and the benefits of this approach for scenario exploration and training of human operators.

Swarm Intelligence relies upon stigmergic principles in order to solve complex problems using only simple agents. Swarm Intelligence has been receiving increasing attention over the last 10 years as a result of the acknowledgement of the success of social insect systems in solving complex problems without the need for central control or global information. In swarm- based problem solving, a solution emerges as a result of the collective action of the members of the swarm, often using principles of communication known as stigmergy. The individual behaviours of swarm members do not indicate the nature of the emergent collective behaviour and the solution process is generally very robust to the loss of individual swarm members. This report describes the general principles for swarm-based problem solving, the way in which stigmergy is employed, and presents a number of high level algorithms that have proven utility in solving hard optimization and control problems. Useful tools for the modelling and investigation of swarm-based systems are then briefly described.
