摘要

Robust multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) in noisy, dynamic environments with prevalent observation errors, execution perturbations, and non-stationarity presents a formidable challenge. This is exacerbated in structurally heterogeneous systems where diverse agent attributes demand sophisticated coordination. Existing MARL methods often address robustness and heterogeneity in isolation, limiting their practical resilience and generalization. We propose RhoMARL, a novel framework engineered to jointly confront these challenges via a dual-network design and synergistic training. RhoMARL’s Robust Dynamic Individual Value Network (RDIVN) bolsters local policy stability and information utilization efficiency through permutation-relevant modeling and dual regularization against observation and action disturbances. Concurrently, its Heterogeneous Fine-grained Mixing Value Network (HFMVN) enables scalable, expressive coordination by decomposing value functions across structurally distinct agent classes. These components are trained via a unified optimization scheme balancing task performance and resilience. Comprehensive experimental evaluations demonstrate that RhoMARL yields notable improvements over state-of-the-art baselines in robustness, convergence speed, and coordination efficacy, offering a promising unified framework for robust heterogeneous MARL.
