用深度强化学习解决机器人避障驻留的复杂控制问题
Solving Reach-Avoid-Stay Problems Using Deep Deterministic Policy Gradients
- 分两步训练策略：先建模安全驻留区域，再构建安全抵达路径
- 在高维系统中实现90%以上任务成功率，优于以往方法
- 适合需要动态避障与长期驻留的智能体控制场景
Reach-Avoid-Stay（RAS）最优控制使机器人、空中出租车等系统能够到达目标、避开障碍并持续靠近目标。然而，现有RAS方法难以应对复杂动态环境，且难以扩展至高维系统。尽管基于强化学习（RL）的可达性分析可缓解这些问题，但尚未应用于RAS。本文提出一种两阶段深度确定性策略梯度（DDPG）方法，将基于RL的可达性方法扩展至RAS问题：首先训练一个函数，表征目标集内最大鲁棒控制不变集及其对应策略；其次训练另一个函数，定义能安全抵达该不变集的状态集合及其策略。理论证明，在无训练误差时，该方法可得到最大鲁棒RAS集。实验验证其在复杂环境中有效，可扩展至高维系统，并在一项仿真和两项高维实验中实现更高任务成功率。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Reach-Avoid-Stay (RAS) optimal control enables systems such as robots and air taxis to reach their targets, avoid obstacles, and stay near the target. However, current methods for RAS often struggle with handling complex, dynamic environments and scaling to high-dimensional systems. While reinforcement learning (RL)-based reachability analysis addresses these challenges, it has yet to tackle the RAS problem. In this paper, we propose a two-step deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) method to extend RL-based reachability method to solve RAS problems. First, we train a function that characterizes the maximal robust control invariant set within the target set, where the system can safely stay, along with its corresponding policy. Second, we train a function that defines the set of states capable of safely reaching the robust control invariant set, along with its corresponding policy. We prove that this method results in the maximal robust RAS set in the absence of training errors and demonstrate that it enables RAS in complex environments, scales to high-dimensional systems, and achieves higher success rates for the RAS task compared to previous methods, validated through one simulation and two high-dimensional experiments.
