  • 引入分布时空模糊性学习器,量化多维观测下的检测不确定性
  • 设计动态熵正则项,高模糊时用L1强正则促探索,低模糊时用L2弱正则保稳定
  • 在AirSim海事搜救任务中,相比MAPPO显著降低误检,提升定位成功率

多智能体近端策略优化(MAPPO)是专为多智能体强化学习(MARL)设计的近端策略优化(PPO)变体,通过中心化评价者与去中心化执行者实现协作优化。然而,在多维环境场景下,由于智能体观测非平稳性,MAPPO难以提取最优策略。为此,本文提出基于熵正则化的近端策略优化(ERPPO)。首先定义多维观测环境下目标检测的模糊性,训练分布时空模糊性(DSA)学习器以估计非平稳约束下的检测不确定性。随后,将新型熵正则项融入PPO:在高模糊观测中施加更强的L1正则以激励显著探索行为,在低模糊观测中使用较弱的L2正则以稳定策略更新。该方法旨在通过减少检测失败、优化搜索策略,提升时间敏感操作中的目标定位成功率。在基于AirSim的海事搜寻测试平台上的实验表明,所提方法性能优于MAPPO,梯度提升更高;定性结果证实其在视觉不确定条件下有效抑制误检。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Multi-Agent Proximal Policy Optimization (MAPPO) is a variant of the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm, specifically tailored for multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL). MAPPO optimizes cooperative multi-agent settings by employing a centralized critic with decentralized actors. However, in case of multi-dimensional environment, MAPPO can not extract optimal policy due to non-stationary agent observation. To overcome this problem, we introduce a novel approach, Entropy Regularization-based Proximal Policy Optimization (ERPPO). For the policy optimization, we first define the object detection ambiguity under multi-dimensional observation environment. Distributional Spatiotemporal Ambiguity (DSA) learner is trained to estimate object detection uncertainty in non-stationary constraints. Then, we enhance PPO with a novel Entropy Regularization term. This regularization dynamically adjusts the policy update by applying a stronger (L1) regularization in high-ambiguity observation to encourage significant exploratory actions and a weaker (L2) regularization in low-ambiguity observation to stabilize the proximal policy optimization. This approach is designed to enhance the probability of successful object localization in time-critical operations by reducing detection failures and optimizing search policy. Experiments on a testbed with AirSim-based maritime searching scenarios show that the proposed ERPPO improves accuracy performance. Our proposed method improves higher gradient than MAPPO. Qualitative results confirm that ERPPO effectiveness in terms of suppressing false detection in visually uncertain conditions.
