让多智能体按目标自主通信,实现高效协同导航
Goal-Oriented Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Decentralized Agent Teams

- 智能体根据自身目标选择性通信,只传必要信息
- 任务成功率更高,到达时间更短,且支持大规模扩展
- 适合无人车、无人机等分布式协作场景
陆地、水域和空中的联网自动驾驶车辆常需在动态、不可预测环境中运行,面临通信受限、无中心控制和部分可观测的挑战。为应对这些问题,我们提出一种去中心化的多智能体强化学习框架,使车辆(作为智能体)基于本地目标与观测选择性通信。该目标感知的通信策略仅共享相关情报,提升协作效率的同时符合可视性限制。我们在包含障碍物和动态智能体数量的复杂多智能体导航任务中验证了该方法。结果表明,相比非合作基线,本方法显著提升任务成功率并减少到达时间;且随着智能体数量增加,任务性能保持稳定,展现出良好可扩展性。这些发现证明,去中心化、目标驱动的MARL在跨领域真实多车系统中具备有效协调潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Connected and autonomous vehicles across land, water, and air must often operate in dynamic, unpredictable environments with limited communication, no centralized control, and partial observability. These real-world constraints pose significant challenges for coordination, particularly when vehicles pursue individual objectives. To address this, we propose a decentralized Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) framework that enables vehicles, acting as agents, to communicate selectively based on local goals and observations. This goal-aware communication strategy allows agents to share only relevant information, enhancing collaboration while respecting visibility limitations. We validate our approach in complex multi-agent navigation tasks featuring obstacles and dynamic agent populations. Results show that our method significantly improves task success rates and reduces time-to-goal compared to non-cooperative baselines. Moreover, task performance remains stable as the number of agents increases, demonstrating scalability. These findings highlight the potential of decentralized, goal-driven MARL to support effective coordination in realistic multi-vehicle systems operating across diverse domains.
