| Summary: | Abstract Swarm systems consist of a large number of interacting individuals, which exhibit complex behavior despite having simple interaction rules. However, crafting individual motion policies that can manifest desired collective behaviors poses a significant challenge due to the intricate relationship between individual policies and swarm dynamics. This paper addresses this issue by proposing an imitation learning method, which derives individual policies from collective behavior data. The approach leverages an adversarial imitation learning framework, with a deep attention network serving as the individual policy network. Our method successfully imitates three distinct collective behaviors. Utilizing the ease of analysis provided by the deep attention network, we have verified that the individual policies underlying a certain collective behavior are not unique. Additionally, we have analyzed the different individual policies discovered. Lastly, we validate the applicability of the proposed method in designing policies for swarm robots through practical implementation on swarm robots. |
