contents Guided trajectory planning involves a leader robot strategically directing a follower robot to collaboratively reach a designated destination. However, this task becomes notably challenging when the leader lacks complete knowledge of the follower's decision-making model. There is a need for learning-based methods to effectively design the cooperative plan. To this end, we develop a Stackelberg game-theoretic approach based on the Koopman operator to address the challenge. We first formulate the guided trajectory planning problem through the lens of a dynamic Stackelberg game. We then leverage Koopman operator theory to acquire a learning-based linear system model that approximates the follower's feedback dynamics. Based on this learned model, the leader devises a collision-free trajectory to guide the follower using receding horizon planning. We use simulations to elaborate on the effectiveness of our approach in generating learning models that accurately predict the follower's multi-step behavior when compared to alternative learning techniques. Moreover, our approach successfully accomplishes the guidance task and notably reduces the leader's planning time to nearly half when contrasted with the model-based baseline method.
