The code repository of the paper "LaCAM: Search-Based Algorithm for Quick Multi-Agent Pathfinding" (AAAI-23).

Building

All you need is CMake (≥v3.16). The code is written in C++(17).

First, clone this repo with submodules.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Kei18/lacam.git
cd lacam

Then, build the project.

cmake -B build && make -C build

Docker

You can also use the docker environment (based on Ubuntu18.04) instead of the native one.

# ~10 min, mostly for CMake build
docker compose up -d
docker compose exec dev bash
> cmake -B build && make -C build

Usage

build/main -i assets/random-32-32-10-random-1.scen -m assets/random-32-32-10.map -N 50 -v 1

The result will be saved in build/result.txt.

Output File

This is an example output of random-32-32-10-random-1.scen. (x, y) denotes location. (0, 0) is the left-top point. (x, 0) is the location at x-th column and 1st row.

You can find details of all parameters with:

build/main --help

Visualizer

@Kei18/mapf-visualizer is available.

Experiments

The experimental script is written in Julia ≥1.7. Setup may require around 10 minutes.

sh scripts/setup.sh

Edit the config file as you like. Examples are in scripts/config . The evaluation starts by following commands.

julia --project=scripts/ --threads=auto
> include("scripts/eval.jl"); main("scripts/config/mapf-bench.yaml")

Notes

  • The grid maps and scenarios in assets/ are from MAPF benchmarks.
  • The empirical data of the manuscript was obtained with [exp/AAAI2023].
  • LaCAM with different design choices: see [pilot/greedy] and [pilot/dbs]
  • tests/ is not comprehensive. It was used in early developments.
  • Auto formatting (clang-format) when committing:
git config core.hooksPath .githooks && chmod a+x .githooks/pre-commit
