[0033] Further, in combination with the accompanying Figure 12 , the specific training process of the DDPG deep learning algorithm for training the MLP neural network model is as follows:

[0034] The propulsion phase starts, and the behaviour policy is the deterministic action μ p (s p ) output by the policy network, and the actual execution action a is obtained by adding Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) noise.

[0035] In the formula:

[0036] : actual execution action of the propulsion motor;

[0037] : deterministic action output by the propulsion policy network;

[0038] : noise variance;

[0039] OU noise is random noise with a mean of 0 and a variance of 0.01, used to ensure the exploratory nature of the action.

[0040] After the mechanical device performs this action, the sliding displacement sensor collects the new state s' p And calculate the reward r p At the same time, mark the end of the phase as done. p .

Figure 12 The process is as follows: ① (Action execution) → ② (Status feedback) → ③ (Experience storage).

[0047] When the amount of data in the experience subpool is greater than or equal to batch size =64, following step ④ in the image, randomly sample N=64 experience points from the sub-pool. .

[0057] : immediate reward of the pushing stage in the sampled experience tuple;

[0058] : discount factor;

[0059] : output value of the pushing target Q network;

[0060] : new state of the pushing stage in the sampled experience tuple;

[0061] : target action output by the pushing target policy network based on the new state.

[0086] (5)

[0087] The policy network is updated in the direction of "maximizing the Q value", and the policy gradient optimization process of the actor in the picture is realized. According to the soft update logic in the picture ⑨, the target policy network and the target Q network lag behind the online network update, and the update formula is:

[0096] The jacking motor training process is similar to the propulsion motor training process, and the corresponding steps are omitted.

[0097] The working principle of the present application is:

[0098] As a whole mechanical device, the device is provided with a pulley set at the bottom, the device is dragged to the work station, the pulley set is fixed, and then the machine starts to work.

[0099] In the initial state, the conveyor support plate 2 is in the initial low position, the weight sensor 4-6 detects the no weight signal and transmits it to the DDPG control module. Based on the initial position data fed back by the sliding displacement sensor 5-7, the DDPG control module outputs a control signal to drive the propulsion motor 5-3 to rotate forward, rotates the propulsion sliding screw 5-2, cooperates with the sliding guide rail 5-4 and the threaded hole block 1-6 to drive the conveyor base 1 and the upper structure as a whole to the workpiece loading station; when the sliding displacement sensor 5-7 detects that the conveyor reaches the preset loading position, the DDPG control module sends a stop signal, and the propulsion motor 5-3 stops rotating.

[0100] When the workpiece track group 3 is filled with the conveyor support plate 2, the weight sensor 4-6 detects the full load weight signal, and the DDPG control module receives the signal and drives the propulsion motor 5-3 to rotate reversely, and the conveyor is sent back to the mechanical hand grabbing station as a whole through the propulsion device 5, and the sliding displacement sensor 5-6 feeds back the reset signal to ensure that the conveyor is accurately returned.

[0101] When the manipulator starts to grab the workpiece, the weight sensors 4-6 monitor the reduction of the weight of the pallet in real time and transmit the data to the DDPG control module. The Actor network of the DDPG control module calculates the target lifting height according to the weight change, controls the lifting rotation motor 4-1 to rotate forward, drives the lead screw 4-3 to transmit, and makes the conveyor pallet 2 gradually rise along the linear guide groove 4-4; the lifting displacement sensor 4-7 collects the height of the pallet in real time and feeds back to the DDPG control module, the Critic network optimizes the control strategy according to the height deviation, ensures that the rising height matches the workpiece reduction each time, and facilitates continuous grabbing by the manipulator.

[0102] When the last workpiece is taken away, the weight sensor 4-6 detects the no weight signal again, the DDPG control module drives the lifting rotation motor 4-1 to rotate reversely, controls the lifting device 4 to drive the pallet 2 to descend to the initial low position, and after the lifting displacement sensor 4-7 confirms the reset, the device returns to the initial state and waits for the next cycle to start, realizing automatic continuous operation.
