Entropy Seeking Constrained Multiagent Reinforcement Learning

Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) has been successfully applied to domains requiring close coordination among many agents. However, real-world tasks require safety specifications that are not generally considered by MARL algorithms. In this work, we introduce an Entropy Seeking Constrained (ESC) approach aiming to learn safe cooperative policies for multi-agent systems. Unlike previous methods, ESC considers safety specifications while maximizing state-visitation entropy, addressing the exploration issues of constraint-based solutions.
