New Drone Swarm Search Environment for Reinforcement Learning

Researchers have developed DSSE, a new environment for studying multi-agent reinforcement learning algorithms. This environment, built on PettingZoo, simulates drones searching for targets like shipwrecked individuals. Agents receive dynamic probability inputs about target locations rather than direct distance rewards, aiding the study of algorithms that process such probabilistic data. AI

    DSSE: a drone swarm search environment

    arXiv:2307.06240v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The Drone Swarm Search project is an environment, based on \textsc{PettingZoo}, that is to be used in conjunction with multi-agent (or single-agent) reinforcement learning algorithms. It is an environment in which the agen…
