Herd's Eye View: Improving Game AI Agent Learning with Collaborative Perception
share
We present a novel perception model named Herd's Eye View (HEV) that adopts a global perspective derived from multiple agents to boost the decision-making capabilities of reinforcement learning (RL) agents in multi-agent environments, specifically in the context of game AI. The HEV approach utilizes cooperative perception to empower RL agents with a global reasoning ability, enhancing their decision-making. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the HEV within simulated game environments and highlight its superior performance compared to traditional ego-centric perception models. This work contributes to cooperative perception and multi-agent reinforcement learning by offering a more realistic and efficient perspective for global coordination and decision-making within game environments. Moreover, our approach promotes broader AI applications beyond gaming by addressing constraints faced by AI in other fields such as robotics.
