• Abstract: Autonomous materials research systems allow scientists to fail smarter, learn faster, and spend less resources in their studies. As these systems grow in number, capability, and complexity, a new challenge arises - how will they work together across large facilities? We explore one solution to this question - a multi-agent laboratory control frame-work. We demonstrate this framework with an autonomous material science lab in mind - where information from diverse research campaigns can be combined to ad-dress the scientific question at hand. This framework can 1) account for realistic resource limits such as equipment use, 2) allow for machine learning agents with diverse learning capabilities and goals capable of running re-search campaigns, and 3) facilitate multi-agent collaborations and teams. The framework is dubbed the MULTI-agent auTonomous fAcilities - a Scalable frameworK aka MULTITASK. MULTITASK makes possible facility-wide simulations, including agent-instrument and agent-agent interactions. Through MULTITASK's modularity, real-world facilities can come on-line in phases, with simulated instruments gradually replaced by real-world instruments. We hope MULTITASK opens new areas of study in large-scale autonomous and semi-autonomous research campaigns and facilities.

  Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a potent tool for sequential decision-making and has achieved performance surpassing human capabilities. As the extension of RL in the multi-agent system domain, multi-agent RL (MARL) not only need to learn the control policy but also requires consideration regarding interactions with all other agents in the environment. Simulators are crucial to obtain realistic data, which is the fundamentals of RL.
