Multi-agent Collaboration in an Adversarial Turret Reconnaissance Task

Although we have previously observed the emergence of collaboration, or more specifically, coordination between cooperative agents in a Predator-Prey Pursuit task, we have yet to demonstrate this interdependence of agents in a different task domain, where the coordination between cooperative agents is expected to depend on specific environmental parameters that may not support collaboration. In this work, we focus on a multi-agent Turret Reconnaissance task (T-RECON) to explore agent interdependence identified through a state-space perturbation technique. This work aims to 1) identify collaboration, and 2) quantify the magnitude of coordination between cooperating agents.
