Efficient Communication in Robust Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning: Trading Observational Robustness for Fewer Communications

Reinforcement learning, especially deep reinforcement learning, has made many advances in the last decade. Similarly, great strides have been made in multi-agent reinforcement learning. Systems of cooperative autonomous robots are increasingly being used, for which multi-agent reinforcement learning can be used as a training method. However, the...

Sample-efficient multi-agent reinforcement learning using learned world models

Multi-agent robotic systems could benefit from reinforcement learning algorithms that are able to learn behaviours in a small number trials, a property known as sample efficiency. This research investigates the use of learned world models to create more sample-efficient algorithms. We present a novel multi-agent model-based reinforcement...
