Learning Multi-Agent Task Assignment and Navigation in the Factory: from Simulation to Real Robots

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 13, 2026 · UTC

Reinforcement learning (RL) has shown considerable promise for robotic decision-making, yet deploying multi-agent RL (MARL) on physical multi-robot systems in industrial environments remains challenging. This paper investigates the real-world applicability of decentralized MARL for multi-robot multi-machine tending. We propose Feature-fusion Multi-Agent Proximal Policy Optimization (FMAPPO), which fuses 2D LiDAR measurements with task-specific state information to enable safe decentralized multi-robot task assignment and navigation. A complete simulation-to-reality pipeline was developed using
