Abstract:

We consider the problem of multi-agent navigation and collision avoidance when observations are limited to the local neighborhood of each agent. We propose InforMARL, a novel architecture for multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) which uses local information intelligently to compute paths for all the agents in a decentralized manner. Specifically, InforMARL aggregates information about the local neighborhood of agents for both the actor and the critic using a graph neural network and can be used in conjunction with any standard MARL algorithm. We show that (1) in training, InforMARL has better sample efficiency and performance than baseline approaches, despite using less information, and (2) in testing, it scales well to environments with arbitrary numbers of agents and obstacles.

Overview of InforMARL: (i) Environment: The agents are depicted by green circles, the goals are depicted by red rectangles, and the unknown obstacles are depicted by gray circles. $x^{i}{agg}$ represents the aggregated information from the neighborhood, which is the output of the GNN. A graph is created by connecting entities within the sensing-radius of the agents. (ii) Information Aggregation: Each agent's observation is concatenated with $x^{i}{\mathrm{agg}}$. The inter-agent edges are bidirectional, while the edges between agents and non-agent entities are unidirectional. (iii) Graph Information Aggregation: The aggregated vector from all the agents is averaged to get $X_{\mathrm{agg}}$. (iv) Actor-Critic: The concatenated vector $[o^{i}, x^{i}{\mathrm{agg}}]$ is fed into the actor network to get the action, and $X{\mathrm{agg}}$ is fed into the critic network to get the state-action values.

Note: A more thorough documentation will be up soon.

args = Args()

scenario = Scenario()
# create world
world = scenario.make_world(args)
# create multiagent environment
env = MultiAgentGraphEnv(world=world, reset_callback=scenario.reset_world, 
                    reward_callback=scenario.reward, 
                    observation_callback=scenario.observation, 
                    graph_observation_callback=scenario.graph_observation,
                    info_callback=scenario.info_callback, 
                    done_callback=scenario.done,
                    id_callback=scenario.get_id,
                    update_graph=scenario.update_graph,
                    shared_viewer=False)
# render call to create viewer window
env.render()
# create interactive policies for each agent
policies = [InteractivePolicy(env,i) for i in range(env.n)]
# execution loop
obs_n, agent_id_n, node_obs_n, adj_n = env.reset()
stp=0
while True:
    # query for action from each agent's policy
    act_n = []

    for i, policy in enumerate(policies):
        act_n.append(policy.action(obs_n[i]))
    # step environment
    obs_n, agent_id_n, node_obs_n, adj_n, reward_n, done_n, info_n = env.step(act_n)

    # render all agent views
    env.render()

Here env.reset() returns obs_n, agent_id_n, node_obs_n, adj_n where:

obs_n: Includes local observations (position, velocity, relative goal position) of each agent.
agent_id_n: Includes the 'ID' for each agent. This can be used to query any agent specific features in the replay buffer
node_obs_n: Includes node observations for graphs formed wrt each agent $i$. Here each node can be any entity in the environment namely: agent, goal or obstacle. The node features include relative position, relative velocity of the entity and the relative position of the goal on the entity.
adj_n: Includes the adjacency matrix of the graphs formed.

This can also be used with an environment wrapper:

from multiagent.MPE_env import GraphMPEEnv
# all_args can be pulled config.py or refer to `onpolicy/scripts/train_mpe.py`
env = MPEEnv(all_args)
obs_n, agent_id_n, node_obs_n, adj_n = env.reset()

Troubleshooting:

OMP: Error #15: Initializing libiomp5.dylib, but found libomp.dylib already initialized.: Install nomkl by running conda install nomkl
AttributeError: dlsym(RTLD_DEFAULT, CFStringCreateWithCString): symbol not found: This issue arises with MacOS Big Sur. A hacky fix for this is to revert change the pyglet version to maintenance version using pip install --user --upgrade git+http://github.com/pyglet/[email protected]

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'origin': This error arises whilst using torch-geometric with CUDA. Uninstall torch_geometric, torch-cluster, torch-scatter, torch-sparse, and torch-spline-conv. Then re-install using:

TORCH="1.8.0"
CUDA="cu102"
pip install --no-index torch-scatter -f https://data.pyg.org/whl/torch-${TORCH}+${CUDA}.html --user
pip install --no-index torch-sparse -f https://data.pyg.org/whl/torch-${TORCH}+${CUDA}.html --user
pip install torch-geometric --user
