Deep reinforcement learning has produced many success stories in recent years. Some example fields in which these successes have taken place include mathematics, games, health care, and robotics. In this paper, we are especially interested in multi-agent deep reinforcement learning, where multiple agents present in the environment not only learn from their own experiences but also from each other and its applications in multi-robot systems. In many real-world scenarios, one robot might not be enough to complete the given task on its own, and, therefore, we might need to deploy multiple robots who work together towards a common global objective of finishing the task. Although multi-agent deep reinforcement learning and its applications in multi-robot systems are of tremendous significance from theoretical and applied standpoints, the latest survey in this domain dates to 2004 albeit for traditional learning applications as deep reinforcement learning was not invented. We classify the reviewed papers in our survey primarily based on their multi-robot applications. Our survey also discusses a few challenges that the current research in this domain faces and provides a potential list of future applications involving multi-robot systems that can benefit from advances in multi-agent deep reinforcement learning.

Multi-Agent Systems has existed for decades and has focused on principles such as loose coupling, distribution, reactivity, and local state. Despite substantial tool and programming language research and development, industry adoption of these systems has been restricted, particularly in the healthcare arena. Artificial intelligence, on the other hand, entails developing computer systems that can execute tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as decision-making, problemsolving, and learning. The goal of this article is to develop and implement an architecture that includes multi-agent systems with microservices, leveraging the capabilities of both methodologies in order to harness the power of Artificial Intelligence in the healthcare industry. It assesses the proposed architecture's merits and downsides, as well as its relevance to various healthcare use cases and the influence on system scalability, adaptability, and maintainability. Indeed, the proposed architecture is capable of meeting the objectives while maintaining scalability, flexibility, and adaptability.
