Multi-agent pursuit-evasion tasks involving intelligent targets are notoriously challenging coordination problems. In this paper, we investigate new ways to learn such coordinated behaviors of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) aimed at keeping track of multiple evasive targets. Within a Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) framework, we specifically propose a variant of the Multi-Agent Deep Det...
