Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling agent movement in an operating space, the apparatus comprising: a processor; a communication interface; a storage device for storing one or more routines, the processor controls the apparatus to: process information about the operating space received by the communication interface to predict one or more interfering condition; divide the operating space into a plurality of sub-regions based on the predicted one or more interfering condition; define operating constraints for each agent in each sub-region having the predicted one or more interfering condition; and generate a movement path in the respective sub-region having the predicted one or more interfering condition for each agent in each sub-region having the predicted one or more interfering condition based on the defined operating constraints so as to avoid the predicted one or more interfering condition.

Abstract: In a system for performing a task in an operating region, there is a plurality of agents. Each of the plurality of agents has a start position in the operating region and an end position in the operating region. There is a ground control device comprising: a processor; and a storage device for storing one or more routines which, when executed under control of the processor, control the ground control device to: divide the operating region into a plurality of sub-regions based on the start and end positions of the plurality of agents so as to assign ones of the plurality of agents to each sub-region, wherein a number of the ones of the plurality of agents in each sub-region is smaller than a number of the plurality of agents in the operating region; generate sub-region data of each of the sub-regions; and generate a plurality of paths of movement based on the sub-region data of the sub-regions for allowing the plurality of agents to move in the operating region to perform the task.
