Our new paper crystallizes the role of heterogeneity in multi-agent reinforcement learning. We provide a new algorithm, and show that multi-robot systems with heterogeneous controllers boast higher resilience to observation noise:

It was my pleasure to host Amanda Prorok (@aprorok) last week, to hear her talk about how graph neural networks can learn intriguing, collaborative behaviours for multi-robot systems!
You can watch a recording of her talk here: robot-learning.uk/seminar-se…. Enjoy!

That is a good point and I was thinking something similar. Vision/Robotics/AI research is very much stuck in a groupthink bubble right now.

Currently, we overfit to exploring AI techniques that work well on NVIDIA GPUs.
With the AI Accelerator sanctions on China -- one interesting result might be that China forks silicon and explores a different idea-space in AI techniques than the rest of the world.

Too often, we focus on fixing the robot instead of the environment that it operates in. In this new paper, we do the latter, and show that subtle modifications to the robots’ surroundings make a real difference:

Credit assignment among agents is really hard when you only get a global reward. In a new learning paradigm, agents use a #GNN to communicate key information that allocates appropriate credit, and promotes cooperative behavior:

🧩 The 'Travelling Salesperson Problem' is one of the oldest puzzles in computer science.
A new approach to solving it, developed at @Cambridge_CL, could improve efficiency in the transport and logistics sectors.
