Multi-Target Pursuit by a Decentralized Heterogeneous UAV Swarm using Deep Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning
Maryam Kouzeghar, Youngbin Song, Malika Meghjani +1
Multi-agent pursuit-evasion tasks involving intelligent targets are notoriously challenging coordination problems. In this paper, we investigate new ways to learn such coordinated…
Effect of Swarm Density on Collective Tracking Performance
Hian Lee Kwa, Julien Philippot, Roland Bouffanais
How does the size of a swarm affect its collective action? Despite being arguably a key parameter, no systematic and satisfactory guiding principles exist to select the number of u…
A Sequential Deep Learning Algorithm for Sampled Mixed-integer Optimisation Problems
Mohammadreza Chamanbaz, Roland Bouffanais
Mixed-integer optimisation problems can be computationally challenging. Here, we introduce and analyse two efficient algorithms with a specific sequential design that are aimed at…
Controllability of a Class of Swarm Signaling Networks
Peng Sun, Robert E. Kooij, Roland Bouffanais
In this paper, we propose closed-form analytical expressions to determine the minimum number of driver nodes that is needed to control a specific class of networks. We consider swa…
Adapting the Exploration-Exploitation Balance in Heterogeneous Swarms: Tracking Evasive Targets
Hian Lee Kwa, Victor Babineau, Julien Philippot +1
There has been growing interest in the use of multi-robot systems in various tasks and scenarios. The main attractiveness of such systems is their flexibility, robustness, and scal…
Tracking Multiple Fast Targets With Swarms: Interplay Between Social Interaction and Agent Memory
Hian Lee Kwa, Jabez Leong Kit, Roland Bouffanais
The task of searching for and tracking of multiple targets is a challenging one. However, most works in this area do not consider evasive targets that move faster than the agents c…
