Advancing MAPF towards the Real World: A Scalable Multi-Agent Realistic Testbed (SMART)

We present Scalable Multi-Agent Realistic Testbed (SMART), a realistic and efficient software tool for evaluating Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) algorithms. MAPF focuses on planning collision-free paths for a group of agents. While state-of-the-art …

A Quality Diversity Method to Automatically Generate Multi-Agent Path Finding Benchmark Maps

We use the Quality Diversity (QD) algorithm with Neural Cellular Automata (NCA) to generate benchmark maps for Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) algorithms. Previously, MAPF algorithms are tested using fixed, human-designed benchmark maps. However, …

A Simple Approach to Continual Learning by Transferring Skill Parameters

In order to be effective general purpose machines in real world environments, robots not only will need to adapt their existing manipulation skills to new circumstances, they will need to acquire entirely new skills on-the-fly. A great promise of …
