ABSTRACT

In this paper, an autonomous multi-agent path planning using reinforcement learning for monitoring of infrastructures and resources in a computationally distributed system was proposed. Reinforcement-learning-based multi-agent exploratory system in a distributed node enable to evaluate a cumulative reward every action and to provide the optimized knowledge for next available action repeatedly by learning process according to a learning policy. Here, the proposed methods were presented by (a) approach of dynamics-based motion constraints multi-agent path-planning to reduce smaller agent steps toward the given destination(goal), where these agents are able to geographically explore on the environment with initial random-trials versus optimal-trials, (b) approach using agent sub-goal selection to provide more efficient agent exploration(path-planning) to reach the final destination(goal), and (c) approach of reinforcement learning schemes by using the proposed autonomous and asynchronous triggering of agent exploratory phases.
