Abstract

Multiagent systems, where many agents work together to achieve their objectives, and cooperative behaviors between agents need to be realized, have been widely studied In this paper, a new reinforcement learning framework considering the concept of “Symbiosis” in order to represent complicated relationships between agents and analyze the emerging behavior is proposed. In addition, distributed state-action value tables are designed to efficiently solve the multiagent problems with large number of state-action pairs. From the simulation results, it is clarified that the proposed method shows better performance comparing to the conventional reinforcement learning without considering symbiosis.
