Grey-wolf-inspired Cooperative Decision-making for Unmanned Clusters in Degraded Communication Environments: Dynamic Task Scheduling and Communication-aware Route Optimization
The cooperative decision-making of unmanned swarm lacks robustness and efficiency in the degraded communication environments.A grey wolf-inspired decision-making method is proposed
which utilizes a hierarchical leadership-driven framework for joint dynamic task scheduling and communication-aware path planning.An

hierarchy for dynamic assignment is established and a time-event dual-trigger strategy is designed in the task scheduling layer.In the path planning layer
a state-machine-based algorithm is constructed to achieve a dynamic balance among path efficiency
communication assurance and survivability by using the adaptive weights.This integrated mechanism enables unmanned swarm to make the adaptive and robust collaborative decisions for the multi-stage mission (reconnaissance
strike and assessment) under composite constraints
including high packet loss
time-varying fading
limited range
and complex obstacles.The simulated results based on the robot operating system (ROS) demonstrate that this proposed method can be used to maintain a sustained 100% completion rate and reduce the average task completion time by up to 65% compared to the baseline schemes in the case of 10~30 targets.These results validate that the proposed method has the ability to suppress communication fluctuations and ensure the mission closure
supporting the engineering applications of unmanned swa
rm cooperative decision-making in complex constrained environments.
