MA-SafeDiffuser: Safe Multi-Agent Planning with Diffusion Probabilistic Models

Summary

The paper introduces MA-SafeDiffuser, a multi-agent extension of SafeDiffuser that embeds control barrier function constraints into reverse-diffusion updates to provide finite-time diffusion invariance guarantees for joint-agent safety specifications. It formalizes joint safe sets, derives centralized and communication-aware decentralized constrained denoising procedures with provable invariance, addresses local traps and deadlocks via time-varying specifications and liveness CBFs, and releases a lightweight benchmarking suite including a multi-agent Maze2D domain. Experiments show reduced violation counts versus unconstrained diffusion baselines while retaining planning quality.

Abstract:We propose MA-SafeDiffuser, a multi-agent extension of SafeDiffuser that equips diffusion-based trajectory planners with finite-time diffusion invariance guarantees for joint-agent safety specifications. Building on the single-agent construction that embeds control barrier function (CBF) constraints into reverse-diffusion updates, we: (i) formalize joint safe sets as intersections of per-agent and pairwise barrier sets; (ii) derive centralized and decentralized (communication-aware) constrained denoising procedures with provable invariance under mild assumptions; (iii) address local-trap and deadlock phenomena via time-varying specifications and liveness CBFs; and (iv) develop a lightweight benchmarking suite including a multi-agent Maze2D domain. Empirically, MA-SafeDiffuser reduces violation counts relative to unconstrained diffusion baselines, while retaining planning quality. We provide algorithms, proofs, and reference implementations.

Key points

  • Formalizes joint safe sets as intersections of per-agent and pairwise barrier sets.
  • Derives centralized and decentralized constrained denoising with provable finite-time invariance.
  • Mitigates local traps and deadlocks using time-varying specifications and liveness CBFs.
  • Introduces a multi-agent Maze2D benchmark; results show fewer violations with comparable planning quality.
