Learning Agents in Robot Navigation: Trends and Next Challenges

Abstract

Multiagent reinforcement learning performs well in multiple situations such as social simulation and data mining. It particularly stands out in robot control. In this approach, artificial agents behave in a system and learn their policies for their own satisfaction and that of others. Robots encode policies to simulate the performance. Therefore, learning should maintain and improve system performance. Previous studies have attempted various approaches to outperform control robots. This paper provides an overview of multiagent reinforcement learning work, primarily on navigation. Specifically, we discuss current achievements and limitations, followed by future challenges.
