見つけた時より良い状態に:逐次タスクにおける価値関数を介した協調
Leave It Better Than Found: Value-Guided Cooperation in Sequential Tasks
事前に共同訓練していないロボット同士が、価値関数を共有して環境への選好を伝え合うことで、逐次タスクを協調して遂行できる手法を提案。KNNによる不確実性フィルタで過信を防ぎ、成功率を最大48.5ポイント向上させた。

We consider the problem of sequential task continuation, where one robot acts in a workspace that has been affected by a previous robot. Current approaches in multi-robot cooperation rely heavily on co-training or co-optimization, assumingthat the robots have access to collective interaction data during the policy training or planning process. However, as increasingly varied robotic embodiments and policies are deployed and operate in the same real-world environment, learning policies for cooperation becomes infeasible due to the combinatorial explosion of possible robot combinations that need to be accounted for. To address this challenge, this paper considers the problem of ad hoc sequential cooperation between robots that have never before operated together in a shared environment. We demonstrate that robots can explicitly communicate their environmental preferences through sharing their value functions, enabling coordination without the need for prior joint training. To ground this exchange and prevent overconfidence in out-of-distribution states, we further introduce a k-nearest neighbors (KNN)- based uncertainty filter. Our method yields an increase of up to 48.5 pp compared with naive or even selfish agents, in task success rates across simulated and real-world experiments, demonstrating that value function transmission between agents is useful not merely as an internal learning tool, but as an effective basis for ad hoc coordination.
