Learning Altruistic Collaboration in Heterogeneous Multi-Team Systems

arXiv:2605.21723v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper studies heterogeneous multi-team collaboration through dynamic robot allocation, where the robots themselves are treated as transferable resources. Leveraging Hamilton's rule from ecology as an altruistic decision-making mechanism, we propose a multi-team collaborative resource allocation framework with heterogeneous capabilities, transfer costs, and capability-dependent contributions. The resulting general heterogeneous resource assignment problem is combinatorial and is shown to be NP-hard. To address scalability, we develop a graph neural network policy under centralized training and decentralized execution that approximates the altruistic allocations based on Hamilton's rule. The model operates over the team interaction graph and predicts robot-level transfer decisions and subsequent robot-to-team assignments. The proposed approach is evaluated in a fire-fighting scenario against exact optimization and multi-step simulations, quantifying allocation quality, decision computation, and fire suppression. Five paired physical testbed trials with 15 robots compare learned reallocation with fixed team membership; the GNN reaches the modeled fire stopping threshold in all five trials, compared with two for static allocation.
