Robot learning control method based on policy gradient

Abstract

The invention discloses a strategy gradient method suitable for robot learning control, which relates to robot learning control technology, including a data acquisition module, which acquires information data during the operation of the robot; a value function approximation module, which uses observed state information and obtained The timely reward is input to obtain an approximate estimation model of the value function; the strategy gradient optimization module parameterizes the robot learning control strategy, and adjusts and optimizes the parameters to make the robot reach an ideal operating state. The action execution module maps the action output by the controller to the action command actually executed by the robot. The method proposed by the present invention can be used for different types of robots, especially multi-degree-of-freedom robots, which have the ability to learn complex actions and solve random strategies, thereby improving the intelligence of the robot, reducing the danger in the learning process, and shortening the robot life. Learning time simplifies controller design difficulty.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to robot learning control technology, in particular to a robot learning control method capable of parameterizing control strategies. Background technique [0002] There are already some technical methods in the field of robot learning control, the most commonly used method is based on value function approximation. In order to obtain the value of the state-action pair, TD (Temporal Difference) learning algorithm and Q-learning algorithm are usually used. While these methods are effective for discrete state-action spaces, many problems arise when solving continuous state-action problems. In a continuous space, in order to achieve a reliable estimation of the value function, it is often necessary to collect a large amount of data in the corresponding space, which is difficult to achieve in the actual complex robot system. And as the robot's degrees of freedom continue to increase, the problem of "dimensional disaster" will appear. ...
