In this paper, we propose Unreal Multi-Agent Playground (Unreal-MAP), an MARL general platform based on the Unreal-Engine (UE). Unreal-MAP allows users to freely create multi-agent tasks using the vast visual and physical resources available in the UE community, and deploy state-of-the-art (SOTA) MA
Goal assignment is a critical challenge in multi-robot systems. The emergence of large language models (LLMs) has enabled the use of natural language commands for tackling goal assignment problems. However, applying LLMs directly to these tasks presents two limitations: 1) limited accuracy and 2) ex
In parameter-efficient fine-tuning, mixture-of-experts (MoE), which involves specializing functionalities into different experts and sparsely activating them appropriately, has been widely adopted as a promising approach to trade-off between model capacity and computation overhead. However, current
Trajectory prediction facilitates effective planning and decision-making, while constrained trajectory prediction integrates regulation into prediction. Recent advances in constrained trajectory prediction focus on structured constraints by constructing optimization objectives. However, handling uns
Guiding the policy of multi-agent reinforcement learning to align with human common sense is a difficult problem, largely due to the complexity of modeling common sense as a reward, especially in complex and long-horizon multi-agent tasks. Recent works have shown the effectiveness of reward shaping,…
Reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a pivotal technique for fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) on specific tasks. However, prevailing RL fine-tuning methods predominantly rely on PPO and its variants. Though these algorithms are effective in general RL settings, they often exhibit subop…
Due to the high complexity of a football match, the opponents' strategies are variable and unknown. Thus predicting the opponents' future intentions accurately based on current situation is crucial for football players' decision-making. To better anticipate the opponents and learn more effective str…
Sparse reward remains a valuable and challenging problem in multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL). This paper addresses this issue from a new perspective, i.e., lazy agents. We empirically illustrate how lazy agents damage learning from both exploration and exploitation. Then, we propose a novel…
When dealing with a series of imminent issues, humans can naturally concentrate on a subset of these concerning issues by prioritizing them according to their contributions to motivational indices, e.g., the probability of winning a game. This idea of concentration offers insights into reinforcement…
In this paper, we propose a novel decentralized method based on deep reinforcement learning using robot-level and target-level relational graphs, to solve the problem of multi-target encirclement with collision avoidance (MECA). Specifically, the robot-level relational graphs, composed of three hete…
In this paper, we propose a novel distributed method based on attention-based deep reinforcement learning using individual reward shaping, for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) cooperative short-range combat mission. Specifically, a two-level attention distributed policy, composed of observat…
This paper proposes a collaborative policy framework via relational graph reasoning for multi-agent systems to accomplish adversarial tasks. A relational graph reasoning module consisting of an agent graph reasoning module and an opponent graph module, is designed to enable each agent to learn mixtu…
This paper considers a multi-target coverage problem where a robot team aims to efficiently cover multi-targets while maintaining connectivity in a distributed manner. A novel knowledge-incorporated policy framework is proposed to derive a distributed, efficient, and connectivity guaranteed coverage…
