| Abstract | Biological systems, ranging from ant colonies to neural ecosystems, exhibit remarkable self-organizing intelligence. Inspired by these phenomena, this study investigates how bio-inspired computing principles can bridge game-theoretic rationality and multi-agent adaptability. This study systematically reviews the convergence of multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) and game theory, elucidating the innovative potential of this integrated paradigm for collective intelligent decision-making in dynamic open environments. Building upon stochastic game and extensive-form game-theoretic frameworks, we establish a methodological taxonomy across three dimensions: value function optimization, policy gradient learning, and online search planning, thereby clarifying the evolutionary logic and innovation trajectories of algorithmic advancements. Focusing on complex smart city scenarios—including intelligent transportation coordination and UAV swarm scheduling—we identify technical breakthroughs in MARL applications for policy space modeling and distributed decision optimization. By incorporating bio-inspired optimization approaches, the investigation particularly highlights evolutionary computation mechanisms for dynamic strategy generation in search planning, alongside population-based learning paradigms for enhancing exploration efficiency in policy refinement. The findings reveal core principles governing how groups make optimal choices in complex environments while mapping the technological development pathways created by blending cross-disciplinary methods to enhance multi-agent systems. © 2025 by the authors. |
