Centralised Intelligence for Dynamic Swarm Navigation

Multi-agent path planning that keeps a robot swarm collision-free around moving obstacles.

Period
November–December 2024
Kind
hackathon
Stack
ROS2 Humble, Gazebo, Python, NMPC

Built for Inter IIT Tech Meet 13.0, where it placed 3rd in the problem statement and 2nd overall.

  • A custom DBSCAN clustering algorithm for low-latency detection of dynamic obstacles.
  • Conflict-Based Search and Non-linear Model Predictive Control fed from that detection, generating collision-free paths for multiple agents at once.
  • Validated on multi-bot ROS2 Humble and Gazebo simulations, tuned to optimise task priority and total execution time.
