Scaling Multi Agent Reinforcement Learning for Underwater Acoustic Tracking via Autonomous Vehicles

arXiv:2505.08222v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Autonomous vehicles (AVs) offer a cost-effective solution for scientific missions such as underwater tracking. Reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a powerful method for controlling AVs, but scaling to fleets (essential for multi-target tracking or rapidly moving targets) is challenging. Multi-Agent RL (MARL) is notoriously sample-inefficient, and while high-fidelity simulators like Gazebo's LRAUV provide up to 100x faster-than-real-time single-robot simulations, they offer little speedup in multi-vehicle scenarios, making MARL tr
