DRG-MAPPO: Hierarchical Dynamic Role-Graph Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Cooperative Air Combat

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces DRG-MAPPO, a hierarchical multi‑agent reinforcement learning framework for cooperative air combat. It combines graph‑based relational modeling with dynamic role assignment, using a high‑level policy to allocate tactical roles such as leader and supporter, and a low‑level policy to execute maneuver actions. The approach includes a target‑priority auxiliary task and achieves an 87% win rate in experiments, indicating effective coordination and stability.

Multi-Robot Open Adaptive Teaming Across Unseen Environments, Partners, and Scales

arXiv:2607. 04972v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deploying robot teams in the real world requires simultaneous adaptation to unseen environments, unknown partners, and varying team sizes, yet existing approaches often address these challenges in isolation under the closed-world assumption of fixed teammates.

BVR Sim: An Open and High-Throughput Environment for Heterogeneous Air-Combat Reinforcement Learning

BVR Sim is an open‑source, Gymnasium‑style environment for heterogeneous air‑combat reinforcement learning, supporting multiple JSBSim aircraft models (F‑15, F‑16, F/A‑18, F‑22) with configurable weapons, sensors, and opponents. It offers a unified tactical action interface, interchangeable Python and accelerated C++ backends, entity‑oriented observations, compositional rewards, scripted opponents, replay and visualization, and adapters for multi‑agent learning frameworks. At a 0.4‑second decision interval, the C++ backend achieves 104 simulated seconds per wall‑clock second in 1‑vs‑1 and remains practical through 10‑vs‑10 scenarios, and a policy trained on the F‑16 transfers to four unseen aircraft with a 45.5% mean win rate after controller adaptation.

Coordination Graphs for Constrained Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2606. 02337v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Constrained Multi-agent reinforcement learning (CMARL) faces two intertwined challenges: the joint action space grows exponentially with the number of agents, and additional requirements couple agents in ways that reward structure alone does not capture.

AeroWeaver: An Embodied-Agent Harness for Weaving Aerial Skills into Distributed, Adaptive Swarm Execution

AeroWeaver is a new embodied‑agent harness that integrates large language model (LLM) decision making with the executable skills of individual UAVs, enabling distributed, adaptive swarm execution. It connects semantic mission decisions to governed skills, organizes role‑conditioned local agents for coordination, and refines skill selection online using role‑indexed state‑action‑reward experience. Experiments demonstrate that AeroWeaver maintains valid skill execution without a central joint‑action generator and supports reward‑guided, training‑free adaptive learning from accumulated execution experience.

Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning in StarCraft Micromanagement with Influence Maps and Cluster-based Scripts

arXiv:2606. 30092v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-time strategy (RTS) games present significant AI challenges, characterized by expansive state-action spaces arising from multi-unit coordination in continuous battlefields, and sparse delayed rewards stemming from final win/lose signals.
