Abstract:

Aiming at the problem that traditional methods are difficult to apply to large-scale cooperative targets assignment in dynamic uncertain environment, a cooperative targets assignment model and training method based on multi-agent reinforcement learning is proposed. Through the description of related concepts and mathematical models, the cooperative targets assignment is transformed into a multi-agent cooperation problem. Focusing on the learning of top-level assignment strategy, the scoring model and reasoning model of strategy are constructed, and the Advantage Actor-Critic algorithm is used for strategy optimization. The simulation results show that the proposed method can accurately describe the evolution of the cooperative relationship between operational units, and effectively realize the dynamic generation of large-scale cooperative targets assignment scheme.

Key words: cooperative targets assignment, multi-agent cooperation, reinforcement learning, neural network, Advantage Actor-Critic
