We are considering a scenario where a team of bodyguard robots provides physical protection to a VIP in a crowded public space. We use deep reinforcement learning to learn the policy to be followed by the robots. As the robot bodyguards need to follow several difficult-to-reconcile goals, we study several primitive and composite reward functions and their impact on the overall behavior of the robotic bodyguards.
