End-to-end deep reinforcement learning for multi-agent collaborative exploration

Exploring an unknown environment by multiple autonomous robots is a major challenge in robotics domains. As multiple robots are assigned to explore different locations, they may interfere each other making the overall tasks less efficient. In this paper, we present a new model called CNN-based Multi...

In this paper, we present a new model called CNN-based Multi-agent Proximal Policy Optimization (CMAPPO) to multi-agent exploration wherein the agents learn the effective strategy to allocate and explore the environment using a new deep reinforcement learning architecture.
