Heterogeneous Multi Agent

Heterogeneous multi-agent systems (HMAS) research focuses on designing and controlling systems composed of agents with diverse capabilities and functionalities, aiming to achieve collaborative goals efficiently. Current research emphasizes developing robust algorithms for coordination and communication, including reinforcement learning approaches like prioritized leagues and hierarchical architectures, as well as novel methods for handling asynchronous operations and addressing challenges posed by agent heterogeneity and potential adversarial behavior (e.g., Byzantine attacks). This field is significant for advancing autonomous systems in various domains, from robotics and space exploration to economic modeling and disaster response, by enabling more flexible and adaptable solutions to complex problems.
