Optimizing the priority queue in multi-robot trajectory planning can significantly enhance overall performance by reducing makespan and improving collision avoidance. One approach is to implement a dynamic priority assignment based on real-time metrics such as distance to the goal, current speed, and proximity to other robots. By continuously updating priorities as robots move, the system can adapt to changing conditions and optimize the order of trajectory execution.
Additionally, incorporating a predictive model that anticipates potential collisions based on the robots' velocities and trajectories can inform priority adjustments. For instance, if a robot is on a collision course with another, its priority can be increased to ensure it executes its trajectory first, thereby avoiding a collision.
Another strategy is to utilize machine learning techniques to analyze historical data from previous runs, identifying patterns that lead to efficient path execution. By training a model to predict optimal priority orders based on various environmental factors and robot states, the system can proactively assign priorities that minimize delays and enhance overall efficiency.
