CoRL-MPPI: Enhancing MPPI With Learnable Behaviours For Efficient And Provably-Safe Multi-Robot Collision Avoidance
Decentralized collision avoidance is a core challenge for scalable multi-robot systems. A promising approach to this problem is Model Predictive Path Integral (MPPI) control - a framework that naturally handles arbitrary motion models and provides strong theoretical guarantees. Still, in practice an MPPI-based controller may produce suboptimal trajectories because its performance relies heavily on uninformed random sampling. We introduce CoRL-MPPI, a fusion of Cooperative Reinforcement Learning and MPPI that addresses this limitation. We train an action policy, approximated by a deep neural network, in simulation to learn local cooperative collision-avoidance behaviors. This learned policy is then embedded into the MPPI framework to guide its sampling distribution, biasing it toward more intelligent and cooperative actions in scenarios that may differ substantially from those used during training. Moreover, CoRL-MPPI preserves the theoretical guarantees of regular MPPI. We evaluate our approach in dense, dynamic setups against classical and learning-based state-of-the-art baselines. Our results demonstrate that CoRL-MPPI outperforms competing methods and significantly improves navigation efficiency, measured by success rate and delay, as well as safety, enabling agile and robust multi-robot navigation.
