Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) is a crucial component for many large-scale robotic systems, where agents must plan their collision-free paths to their given goal positions. Recently, multi-agent reinforcement learning has been introduced to solve the partially observable variant of MAPF by learning a decentralized single-agent policy in a centralized fashion based on each agent's partial observation. However, existing learning-based methods are ineffective in achieving complex multi-agent cooperation, especially in congested environments, due to the non-stationarity of this setting. To tackle this challenge, we propose a multi-agent actor-critic method called Soft Actor-Critic with Heuristic-Based Attention (SACHA), which employs novel heuristic-based attention mechanisms for both the actors and critics to encourage cooperation among agents. SACHA learns a neural network for each agent to selectively pay attention to the shortest path heuristic guidance from multiple agents within its field of view, thereby allowing for more scalable learning of cooperation. SACHA also extends the existing multi-agent actor-critic framework by introducing a novel critic centered on each agent to approximate $Q$-values. Compared to existing methods that use a fully observable critic, our agent-centered multi-agent actor-critic method results in more impartial credit assignment and better generalizability of the learned policy to MAPF instances with varying numbers of agents and types of environments. We also implement SACHA(C), which embeds a communication module in the agent's policy network to enable information exchange among agents. We evaluate both SACHA and SACHA(C) on a variety of MAPF instances and demonstrate decent improvements over several state-of-the-art learning-based MAPF methods with respect to success rate and solution quality.

It is no wonder that deciding and developing the website's code, design, layout, and features take quite some time. Debugging and correcting faulty codes are some of the major challenges that you might face during this process. However, you no longer have to worry! AI not only automizes the entire process but also helps in making smarter decisions and helps solve complex problems. For instance, Vance AI offers you various AI tools, like image upscaler that helps design a website with great ease.

Artificial intelligence has been trending upward for years now. AI is being used for all different types of applications and technology. In the past, I've covered the marketing skills you need to survive in the age of AI. That's because marketers have been using AI technology to reshape the way that consumers are targeted. Brands and websites are using AI chatbots to improve communication with website visitors. They're also using this technology to analyze big data.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is taking the internet world by storm. You can see proof of this with all the talk in forums and all the articles being published pertaining to the latest trend in the digital world. Personalization has been another hot topic within digital marketing. However, with so many things to do with managing your online store and getting your work-life balance straight, it can get overwhelming. AI has been applied to various industries and has improved functionality and enhanced efficiency.
