Concurrent Individual And Social Learning In Robot Teams
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite the advancement of research and development on multi-robot teams, a key challenge still remains as to how to develop effective mechanisms that enable the robots to autonomously generate, adapt, and enhance team behaviours while improving their individual performance simultaneously. After a literature review of various multi-agent learning approaches, the two most promising learning paradigms, i.e., cooperative learning and advice sharing are adopted for future development. Although individually these methodologies may not provide a solution, their proper integration will provide a platform that allows for the incorporation of multi-agent learning with social behaviours. These methods are examined in relation to the performance characteristics of single-robot learning to ascertain if they retain viable learning characteristics despite the integration of individual learning into team behaviour. Further, various modifications to the Q-Learning algorithm were tested, and the best performing modification was implemented into the proposed multi robot learning approach.

Concurrent Markov Decision Processes for Robust Robot Team Learning under Uncertainty
For robots to become a more common fixture in private and public industries, they must exhibit compliant individual and social learning. To achieve social compliance, while maintaining individual performance, robots must represent knowledge accurately in both certain and uncertain environments. Robots also need to quantify effective decision making both when isolated and when teamed with peer r...

We are developing the physics of interdependent uncertainty relations to efficiently and effectively control interdependence in autonomous hybrid teams (i.e., arbitrary combinations of humans, robots and machines), which cannot be done presently. Uncertainty is created in states of interdependence between social objects: at one extreme, interdependence reduces to independent agents and certaint...
متن کاملSocial Entropy: a New Metric for Learning Multi-robot Teams
As robotics research expands into multiagent tasks and learning, investigators need new tools for evaluating the artiicial robot societies they study. Is it enough, for example, just to say a team is \hetero-geneous?" Perhaps heterogeneity is more properly viewed on a sliding scale. To address these issues this paper presents new metrics for learning robot teams. The metrics evaluate diversity ...
