Query: Emergence of Scenario-Appropriate Collaborative Behaviors for Teams of
  Robotic Bodyguards   We are considering the problem of controlling a team of robotic bodyguards
protecting a VIP from physical assault in the presence of neutral and/or
adversarial bystanders. This task is part of a much larger class of problems
involving coordinated robot behavior in the presence of humans. This problem is
challenging due to the large number of active entities with different agendas,
the need of cooperation between the robots as well as the requirement to take
into consideration criteria such as social norms and unobtrusiveness in
addition to the main goal of VIP safety. Furthermore, different settings such
as street, public space or red carpet require very different behavior from the
robot. We describe how a multi-agent reinforcement learning approach can evolve
behavior policies for teams of robot bodyguards that compare well with
hand-engineered approaches. Furthermore, we show that an algorithm inspired by
universal value function approximators can learn policies that exhibit
appropriate, distinct behavior in environments with different requirements.
