# Introduction [[introduction]]

Since the beginning of this course, we learned to train agents in a *single-agent system* where our agent was alone in its environment: it was **not cooperating or collaborating with other agents**.
This worked great, and the single-agent system is useful for many applications.

But, as humans, **we live in a multi-agent world**. Our intelligence comes from interaction with other agents. And so, our **goal is to create agents that can interact with other humans and other agents**.
Consequently, we must study how to train deep reinforcement learning agents in a *multi-agents system* to build robust agents that can adapt, collaborate, or compete.
So today were going to **learn the basics of the fascinating topic of multi-agents reinforcement learning (MARL)**.
And the most exciting part is that, during this unit, youre going to train your first agents in a multi-agents system: **a 2vs2 soccer team that needs to beat the opponent team**.
And youre going to participate in **AI vs. AI challenge** where your trained agent will compete against other classmates agents every day and be ranked on a [new leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/huggingface-projects/AIvsAI-SoccerTwos).
