MARLIN: Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning Guided by Language-Based Inter-Robot Negotiation

MARLIN: Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning Guided by Language-Based Inter-Robot Negotiation

Summary

This research introduces MARLIN, a hybrid framework that integrates large language models for inter-robot negotiation to guide multi-agent reinforcement learning. The system dynamically switches between language-based planning and RL policy learning, achieving higher performance during early training stages while maintaining final performance comparable to standard methods. Evaluated on both simulated and physical robots with local and remote language models, the code is publicly available.

Editorial context

The paper proposes MARLIN, a hybrid framework combining large language models for high-level negotiation with multi-agent reinforcement learning to improve early-stage training performance in both simulated and physical robot settings.

ing training, enabling more effective exploration. MARLIN is evaluated using both simulated and physical robots with local and remote language models. Results show that, compared to standard multi-agent reinforcement learning, the hybrid approach achieves higher performance in early training with limited impact on the final performance. The code is available at https://github.com/SooratiLab/MARLIN.
