Compact robotic platforms with powerful compute and actuation capabilities are key enablers for practical, real-world deployments of multi-agent research. This article introduces a tightly integrated hardware, control, and simulation software stack on a fleet of holonomic ground robot platforms designed with this motivation. Our robots, a fleet of customised DJI Robomaster S1 vehicles, offer a balance between small robots that do not possess sufficient compute or actuation capabilities and larger robots that are unsuitable for indoor multi-robot tests. They run a modular ROS2-based optimal estimation and control stack for full onboard autonomy, contain ad-hoc peer-to-peer communication infrastructure, and can zero-shot run multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) policies trained in our vectorized multi-agent simulation framework. We present an in-depth review of other platforms currently available, showcase new experimental validation of our system's capabilities, and introduce case studies that highlight the versatility and reliability of our system as a testbed for a wide range of research demonstrations. Our system as well as supplementary material is available online. https://proroklab.github.io/cambridge-robomaster

  1. Prompting Robot Teams with Natural Language

    cs.RO 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A natural-language team command is distilled into a small recurrent network that encodes the task as an automaton, while a graph-neural-network policy executes it in a decentralized, real-time manner.

  2. Is Inter-Seed Cross-Play Enough? Evaluating the Robustness of Zero-Shot Coordination Algorithms to Implementation Details

    cs.AI 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For Other-Play in Yokai, agents trained with different implementation details coordinate across implementations about as well as across seeds, supporting inter-seed cross-play as a proxy for cross-implementation evaluation.
