About this paper
Aritra Pal, Anandsingh Chauhan, Mayank Baranwal
TCS Research developed MRTAgent, an RL framework that optimizes real-time multi-robot task allocation in dynamic warehouses by integrating task selection, robot assignment with battery management, continuous movement, and collision-free navigation. The framework demonstrates superior efficiency and strong generalizability compared to existing baselines.
Key insights
- A hierarchical, dual-agent RL structure allows for effective coordination of task prioritization and robot assignment decisions in complex, dynamic multi-robot systems.
- Integrating low-level continuous motion control (LQR with APF) directly into a high-level RL allocation framework significantly enhances realism and practical applicability.
- Self-play training helps develop robust, coordinated policies between agents, enabling adaptation to varying operational conditions and proactive planning beyond immediate, local optimization.
