arXiv:2510.18085v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Imitation Learning (IL) is a natural way for humans to teach robots, particularly when high-quality demonstrations are easy to obtain. While IL has been widely applied to single-robot settings, relatively few studies have addressed the extension of these methods to multi-agent systems, especially in settings where a single human must provide demonstrations to a team of collaborating robots. In this paper, we introduce and study Round-Robin Behavior Cloning (R2BC), a method that enables a single human operator to effectively train multi-
The paper addresses a significant challenge in scaling robot training from single to multi-agent systems, aligning with the increasing complexity of robotic applications and the drive towards more autonomous and collaborative AI.
This development could accelerate the deployment of multi-robot systems by simplifying the training process, reducing the burden on human operators, and making complex automated tasks more feasible across various industries.
The ability to train multiple robots efficiently from a single human's demonstration makes advanced robotic teams more accessible, potentially expanding their use cases from industrial automation to complex logistics and service sectors.
