Abstract: Systems and methods for swarm adaptation based on social value orientations are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes calculating social value orientations for a proximate vehicle of a plurality of proximate vehicles on a roadway with a plurality of swarm vehicles of a swarm. The method includes determining a total cost for the one or more proximate vehicles based on the social value orientations. The total cost for the proximate vehicle is based on an individual cost of the proximate vehicle and a joint cost of the proximate vehicle relative to the roadway vehicles. The method includes generating a global objective function based on a summation of the total cost of the plurality of proximate vehicles. The method includes determining a swarm action for a swarm vehicle by minimizing the total cost of the global objective function. The method includes causing the swarm vehicle to execute the swarm action.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling navigation of multiple robots are provided. The robots are configured to move within an environment in which pedestrians are also moving. Centralized and distributed game-theoretical approaches to control of the robots are described.

Abstract: Systems and methods for swarm invitation based on social values are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes calculating a total disruption value of a proximate vehicle on a roadway with a plurality of swarm vehicles of a swarm on the roadway. The total disruption value of the proximate vehicle is based on a velocity disruption value of the proximate vehicle and a position disruption value of the proximate vehicle. The method also includes determining a proximate social alignment value of the proximate vehicle based on a comparison of the total disruption value to a threshold disruption value. The threshold disruption value is based on a desired social alignment value of the swarm. The method yet further includes sending a swarm request to the proximate vehicle when the proximate social alignment value corresponding to the desired social alignment value.
