基于模型的强化学习(MBRL)通过学习环境模型进行决策,因其采样效率高,特别适用于机器人领域。将学习到的模型与在线规划结合,可进一步优化动作选择,使规划器能利用模型找到比纯策略更好的动作。现有方法通常学习策略的价值,而非更强的规划引导行为。本文提出CAST(Critic with Alternating State-value Target),使用规划引导行为改进价值学习,并以当前策略对价值估计进行正则化。CAST将动作值批评家替换为状态值批评家,使用一个结合真实规划过渡和当前策略下想象过渡的目标进行训练。由此得到的价值函数对应于规划引导行为与当前策略之间的交替过程,既受益于规划性能,又受策略学习的约束。我们在DeepMind Control和HumanoidBench套件上评估CAST,结果表明其优于多种前沿方法,并成功实现物理级单位树Go2四足机器人执行动态手倒立任务。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Model-based reinforcement learning (MBRL) is a family of RL methods that learn a model of the environment and use it for action selection, making it well suited to robotics due to its sample efficiency. Combining learned models with online planning can further improve action selection, as the planner can exploit the model to find better actions than the learned policy alone. Recent methods combining learned policies with online planning typically learn the value of the policy rather than the stronger planner-guided behavior. We present CAST (Critic with Alternating State-value Target), which uses planner-guided behavior to improve value learning while regularizing the value estimate with the current policy. CAST replaces the action-value critic with a state-value critic, trained using a target that combines a real planner-guided transition and an imagined transition under the current policy. The resulting value function corresponds to an alternating process between planner-guided behavior and the current policy, allowing it to benefit from the stronger planner behavior while being regularised by the policy being learned. We evaluate CAST on the DeepMind Control and HumanoidBench Suites against several state-of-the-art methods, and demonstrate successful transfer to a physical Unitree Go2 quadruped performing a dynamic handstand.
