SafeDiSTL: Decomposing Joint Constraints for Safe Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

We present SafeDiSTL, a constrained multi-agent reinforcement learning framework that allows for credit assignment even with joint constraint measurements.

Key points

  • Cooperative multi-agent tasks often impose constraints on a shared objective or collective safety.
  • A team level violation cost function can measure this constraint outcome, but does not distinguish which agents' actions most strongly influence that violation.
  • We use Signal Temporal Logic (STL) robustness to measure episode-level violation through running-maximum cost increments.
  • We study the framework in cooperative payload transport, connected navigation, and networked traffic control tasks.
