QFedAgent: Quantum-Enhanced Personalized Federated Learning for Multi-Agent Activity Recognition

Federated learning (FL) enables collaborative model training across distributed devices without sharing raw data, making it suitable for privacy-sensitive robotic sensing applications. However, multi-agent systems generate heterogeneous and non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID) multimodal sensor streams that degrade conventional FL algorithms, while classical fusion modules introduce substantial parameter overhead and communication cost. This paper proposes QFedAgent, a hybrid quantum-classical personalized FL framework for multi-agent activity recognition. The approach integra
