Emergent Discrete Communication in Semantic Spaces

NeurIPS 2021poster

Neural agents trained in reinforcement learning settings can learn to communicate among themselves via discrete tokens, accomplishing as a team what agents would be unable to do alone. However, the current standard of using one-hot vectors as discrete communication tokens prevents agents from acquir…

Hiding Leader’s Identity in Leader-Follower Navigation through Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

IROS 2021poster

Leader-follower navigation is a popular class of multi-robot algorithms where a leader robot leads the follower robots in a team. The leader has specialized capabilities or mission critical information (e.g. goal location) that the followers lack, and this makes the leader crucial for the mission’s…

Determining Effective Swarm Sizes for Multi-Job Type Missions

IROS 2018poster

Swarm search and service (SSS) missions require large swarms to simultaneously search an area while servicing jobs as they are encountered. Jobs must be immediately serviced and can be one of several different job types - each requiring a different service time and number of vehicles to complete its…

Validation of cognitive models for collaborative hybrid systems with discrete human input

IROS 2016poster

We present a method to validate a cognitive model, based on the cognitive architecture ACT-R, in dynamic human-automation systems with discrete human input. We are inspired by the general problem of K-choice games as a proxy for many decision making applications in dynamical systems. We model the hu…
