Abstract: cooperative planning is one of the critical problems in the field of multi-agent system gaming. This work focuses on cooperative planning when each agent has only a local observation range and local communication. We propose a novel cooperative planning architecture that combines a graph neural network with a task-oriented knowledge fusion sampling method. Two main contributions of this paper are based on the comparisons with previous work: (1) we realize feasible and dynamic adjacent information fusion using graphSAGE (i.e., Graph SAmple and aggreGatE), which is the first time this method has been used to deal with the cooperative planning problem, and (2) a task-oriented sampling method is proposed to aggregate the available knowledge from a particular orientation, to obtain an effective and stable training process in our model. Experimental results demonstrate the good performance of our proposed method.
