Multiagent Reinforcement Learning

Reinforcement Learning comprises an attractive solution to the problem of coordinating a group of agents in a Multiagent System, due to its robustness for learning in uncertain and unknown environments. This paper proposes a multiagent Reinforcement Learning approach, that uses coordinated actions, which we call strategies and a fusing process to guide the agents. To evaluate the proposed approach, we conduct experiments in the Predator-Prey domain and compare it with other learning techniques. The results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach.

Multiagent Domain

The multiagent reinforcement learning approach is now widely applied to cause agents to behave rationally in a multiagent system. However, due to the complex interactions in a multiagent domain, it is difficult to decide the each agent’s fair share of the reward for contributing to the goal achievement. This chapter reviews a reward shaping problem that defines when and what amount of reward should be given to agents. We employ keepaway soccer as a typical multiagent continuing task that requires skilled collaboration between the agents. Shaping the reward structure for this domain is difficult for the following reasons: i) a continuing task such as keepaway soccer has no explicit goal, and so it is hard to determine when a reward should be given to the agents, ii) in such a multiagent cooperative task, it is difficult to fairly share the reward for each agent‘s contribution. Through experiments, we found that reward shaping has a major effect on an agent‘s behavior.
