Researchers have developed OGR-MARL, a novel framework for multi-agent reinforcement learning designed for cooperative pursuit scenarios involving heterogeneous unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) in constrained port waterways. This framework integrates shared evader belief, role-conditioned option targets, and adaptive rule penalties, enabling MARL algorithms to learn corrective actions rather than starting from scratch. When instantiated with various MARL backbones, OGR-MASAC demonstrated a 75.0% capture rate and superior coordination, with promising generalization capabilities shown through zero-shot transfer to a more complex map.
