AERIS: Offline Policy Improvement for Multi-UAV Integrated Sensing and Communication

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

AERIS is an offline policy improvement framework for multi-UAV integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) that learns from fixed flight logs using centralized training and decentralized execution. It introduces STAR-CRDT, an offline multi-agent RL algorithm that rectifies local actions and distills trusted improvements into decentralized actors, providing an offline-support policy improvement guarantee. Experiments demonstrate that STAR-CRDT boosts the main ISAC objective return by 29.3% and improves communication sum rate, sensing pass rate, and sensing margin while reducing collision-risk events by 54.2%.

Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning-Based UAV Pathfinding for Obstacle Avoidance in Stochastic Environment

The paper proposes a centralized training with decentralized execution framework for multi‑agent UAV pathfinding in stochastic environments, leveraging multi‑agent reinforcement learning enhanced by model predictive control concepts. Agents communicate only with a centralized planner and use a distance‑weighted mean‑field observation to plan feasible paths, while multi‑step value convergence improves training efficiency. Experiments, including ablation and real‑robot studies, demonstrate the method’s effectiveness and generalization.
