It Takes Two to Tangram: Multi-Agent Object Centric Reinforcement Learning for Assembly
arXiv cs.RO0 views
arXiv:2611.08814v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Geometric assembly requires fine spatiotemporal coordination to place parts without causing collisions or deadlocks under tight clearances. To address this, we present an object-centric reinforcement learning framework that treats each part as an agent and learns a shared policy for continuous assembly control. A graph neural network represents the pieces, their target poses, and their spatial relationships, and predicts translational and angular velocities for each component. Per-agent proximal policy optimization with a centralized graph critic directly learns motion and temporal coordination within a single feedback policy. We study this formulation through planar Tangram assembly, where pieces must slide and rotate into a given configuration while remaining on the assembly surface. Procedural generation of target configurations and randomized initial arrangements support training and evaluation across diverse assembly problems. Our experiments isolate the roles of relational structure and multi-agent optimization, and compare learned control with sampling-based planning. We demonstrate concurrent assembly in simulation and transfer the policy to sequential execution on a real robot, as our object-centric formulation decouples learned assembly coordination from low-level physical control.
