- Abstract:
-
As an important research area in the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence, multi-agent hierarchical reinforcement learning (MAHRL) integrates the advantages of the collaboration of multi-agent system (MAS) and the decision making of reinforcement learning (RL) in a general-purpose form, and decomposes the RL problem into sub-problems and solves each of them to overcome the so-called curse of dimensionality. So MAHRL offers a potential way to solve large-scale and complex decision problem. In this paper, we systematically describe three key technologies of MAHRL: reinforcement learning (RL), Semi Markov Decision Process (SMDP), multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL). We then systematically describe four main categories of the MAHRL method from the angle of hierarchical learning, which includes Option, HAM, MAXQ and End-to-End. Finally, we end up with summarizing the application status of MAHRL in robot control, game decision making and mission planning.
