Emergent Cooperative Strategies for Multi-Agent Shepherding via Reinforcement Learning

2024-11-08 · Italo Napolitano, Andrea Lama, Francesco De Lellis, Mario di Bernardo

We present a decentralized reinforcement learning (RL) approach to address the multi-agent shepherding control problem, departing from the conventional assumption of cohesive target groups. Our two-layer control architecture consists of a low-level controller that guides each herder to contain a specific target within a goal region, while a high-level layer dynamically selects from multiple targets the one an herder should aim at corralling and containing. Cooperation emerges naturally, as herders autonomously choose distinct targets to expedite task completion. We further extend this approach to large-scale systems, where each herder applies a shared policy, trained with few agents, while managing a fixed subset of agents.

Learning Translations: Emergent Communication Pretraining for Cooperative Language Acquisition

2024-02-26 · Dylan Cope, Peter McBurney

In Emergent Communication (EC) agents learn to communicate with one another, but the protocols that they develop are specialised to their training community. This observation led to research into Zero-Shot Coordination (…

Communication-Free Shepherding Navigation with Multiple Steering Agents

2022-05-17 · Aiyi Li, Masaki Ogura, Naoki Wakamiya

Swarm guidance addresses a challenging problem considering the navigation and control of a group of passive agents. To solve this problem, shepherding offers a bio-inspired technique of navigating such group of agents by…

Hierarchical Policy-Gradient Reinforcement Learning for Multi-Agent Shepherding Control of Non-Cohesive Targets

Compositional properties of emergent languages in deep learning

2020-01-23 · Bence Keresztury, Elia Bruni

Recent findings in multi-agent deep learning systems point towards the emergence of compositional languages. These claims are often made without exact analysis or testing of the language. In this work, we analyze the eme…

Path Planning for Shepherding a Swarm in a Cluttered Environment using Differential Evolution

2020-08-28 · Saber Elsayed, Hemant Singh, Essam Debie, Anthony Perry 외

Shepherding involves herding a swarm of agents (\emph{sheep}) by another a control agent (\emph{sheepdog}) towards a goal. Multiple approaches have been documented in the literature to model this behaviour. In this paper…
