Impact of Architectural Heterogeneity and Reward Design on Coordination in IPPO-Based Multi-Agent Systems for Sequential SAR Tasks
This study evaluates how architectural heterogeneity and reward design influence coordination in decentralized IPPO-based Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) systems operating in Search-and-Rescue (SAR) environments with strict sequential task dependencies. Controlled experiments compare homogeneous and heterogen...
