Abstract

This paper proposes a novel approach to system optimization leveraging Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL). The core concept is to decompose complex systems into multiple intelligent agents, each responsible for controlling a specific subsystem. These agents then collaboratively learn optimal control strategies through a MARL framework. Traditional system optimization methods often rely heavily on expert knowledge and manual tuning, which can be time-consuming and limited in scope. MARSL offers a dynamic and adaptive solution, allowing systems to learn and optimize themselves based on real-time feedback and interactions. This approach is particularly well-suited for systems with high dimensionality, non-linear dynamics, and complex interactions between components. The paper outlines the theoretical foundations of MARSL, details the implementation considerations, and presents a conceptual framework for its application. We aim to demonstrate that MARL can significantly enhance the optimization capabilities of complex systems compared to conventional methods.

Residual RL on a PSO-tuned Fuzzy Controller for Mobile Robot Trajectory Tracking

This paper presents a two-wheeled mobile robot trajectory-tracking controller combining a particle swarm optimization (PSO)-tuned fuzzy logic controller (FLC) with a residual reinforcement learning (RL) correction layer.PSO tuning reduces the global distance error by 35% and the integral absolute error by 44% over the initial FLC.The residual RL layer further reduces the global distance error by approximately 2.3% and improves cornering-region tracking by 3.9% in RMSE, 4.7% in IAE, and 5.2% in peak distance error.The proposed controller also reduces the global distance error by 41% and 66% relative to independently tuned PID and fuzzy-PID baselines.Trained across four trajectory families with a held-out test split, the generalized agent reduces the average test distance error by 18% relative to the tuned FLC baseline.These results show that a lightweight residual correction improves both accuracy and generalization while preserving the fuzzy controller's interpretability.
