Abstract

The bird-oid object (Boids) model proposes a control algorithm to make the positions between agents achieve cooperative stability. By changing the parameters of cohesion and repulsion in the algorithm, the agents in the swarm can be made to converge to different positions, causing expansion and contraction of the formation. But it is often more difficult to select the appropriate parameters to form the ideal formation. Therefore, this paper proposes a method to improve the cohesive and repulsive parameters in the Boids model based on Q-learning network to achieve a simulation scenario with continuous obstacle avoidance and maximum coverage of space.
