Original Kurzfassung:
How are we to orchestrate large teams of agents? How do we distill global goals into local robot policies? Machine learning has revolutionized the way in which we address these questions by enabling us to automatically synthesize decentralized agent policies from global objectives. In this presentation, I first describe how we leverage data-driven approaches to learn interaction strategies that lead to coordinated and cooperative behaviors. I will introduce our work on Graph Neural Networks, and show how we use such architectures to learn multi-agent policies through differentiable communications channels. I will present some of our results on cooperative perception, coordinated path planning, and close-proximity quadrotor flight. To conclude, I discuss the impact of policy heterogeneity on agent alignment and sim-to-real transfer.
