分流Transformer感知与大语言模型协同调度的多智能体目标搜索

Abstract: With the widespread application of unmanned vehicles, unmanned drones, and wheeled or tracked mobile intelligent agents in fields such as logistics transportation and environmental monitoring, the target search tasks in complex scenarios have placed higher demands on their environmental perception and collaborative decision-making capabilities. To address insufficient multi-scale environmental perception and low collaborative scheduling efficiency in mobile agent target search within complex scenes, this study proposes a multi-agent target search algorithm based on shunted Transformer perception and large language model scheduling optimization. For perception, the study introduces the ViT-FRCNN network and designs a multi-scale shunted Transformer module. The query branch maintains full spatial resolution, while key and value branches are downsampled in parallel at rates of 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8. A local enhancement module based on 3×3 depthwise separable convolution is introduced to compensate for detail loss, constructing an agent target detection algorithm based on shunted Transformer perception that achieves efficient multi-scale feature aggregation. For scheduling, a large language model is introduced, and a zero-shot prompt template is designed. An iterative closed loop of assignment, execution, feedback, and reassignment is adopted to dynamically adjust tasks, and a spatial conflict detection rule based on distance threshold is introduced. A bidirectional feedback mechanism between detection and scheduling is constructed, where the Large Language Model (LLM) filters detection results according to task semantics and guides the detection module to focus on target-related regions. Consistency constraints ensure semantic alignment between detection outputs and scheduling decisions, avoiding performance degradation caused by unilateral optimization and forming a closed-loop collaborative process of detection, scheduling, feedback, and redetection. Experimental results show that on the OpenImages V7 dataset, the proposed target detection algorithm achieves an F1 score of 98.83% and a recall of 97.76%, with mAP@0.5, mAP@0.75, and mAP@0.5:0.95 of 55.47%, 36.26%, and 30.68%, respectively, all outperforming comparison algorithms. On the COCO2017 dataset, the F1 score and recall are 96.85% and 95.72%, respectively, verifying generalization. For multi-agent target search, the accuracies for chair, toothbrush, pencil, and eraser are 98.9%, 97.4%, 97.8%, and 98.3%, respectively, with an end-to-end response time of approximately 612 ms, all outperforming comparison algorithms. These results demonstrate the effectiveness and practical value of the proposed algorithm for multi-agent target search in complex scenes.
