Event-Based Communication in Distributed Q-Learning

We present an approach to reduce the communication of information needed on a Distributed Q-Learning system inspired by Event Triggered Control (ETC) techniques. We consider a baseline scenario of a Distributed Q-Learning problem on a Markov Decision Process (MDP). Following an event-based approach, N agents sharing a value function explore the...

Mean Field Behavior of Collaborative Multiagent Foragers

Collaborative multiagent robotic systems, where agents coordinate by modifying a shared environment often result in undesired dynamical couplings that complicate the analysis and experiments when solving a specific problem or task. Simultaneously, biologically inspired robotics rely on simplifying agents and increasing their number to obtain...
