The paper introduces ROTATE, a regret-driven open‑ended training framework that jointly improves an Ad Hoc Teamwork (AHT) agent and an adversarial teammate generator. Unlike traditional two‑stage pipelines, ROTATE alternates between enhancing the agent and generating teammates that specifically probe its collaboration weaknesses. Experiments on Overcooked and Level‑Based Foraging show that ROTATE outperforms existing baselines on unseen teammates, setting a new benchmark for robust, generalizable teamwork.

The paper introduces ICRL4AHT, a large-scale benchmark for evaluating In-Context Reinforcement Learning (ICRL) in Ad-Hoc Teamwork (AHT) scenarios using Overcooked-V2. It provides a diverse teammate suite, a reproducible pipeline, and evaluates history-conditioned ICRL algorithms such as Algorithm Distillation and Decision-Pretrained Transformer. The results show that these methods often perform worse than random baselines and do not improve with longer horizons, underscoring the difficulty of strategic inference under partial observability in AHT.
