Query: PRIMAL: Pathfinding via Reinforcement and Imitation Multi-Agent Learning   Multi-agent path finding (MAPF) is an essential component of many
large-scale, real-world robot deployments, from aerial swarms to warehouse
automation. However, despite the community's continued efforts, most
state-of-the-art MAPF planners still rely on centralized planning and scale
poorly past a few hundred agents. Such planning approaches are maladapted to
real-world deployments, where noise and uncertainty often require paths be
recomputed online, which is impossible when planning times are in seconds to
minutes. We present PRIMAL, a novel framework for MAPF that combines
reinforcement and imitation learning to teach fully-decentralized policies,
where agents reactively plan paths online in a partially-observable world while
exhibiting implicit coordination. This framework extends our previous work on
distributed learning of collaborative policies by introducing demonstrations of
an expert MAPF planner during training, as well as careful reward shaping and
environment sampling. Once learned, the resulting policy can be copied onto any
number of agents and naturally scales to different team sizes and world
dimensions. We present results on randomized worlds with up to 1024 agents and
compare success rates against state-of-the-art MAPF planners. Finally, we
experimentally validate the learned policies in a hybrid simulation of a
factory mockup, involving both real-world and simulated robots.
