Actor-Critic Policy Learning in Cooperative Planning
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we introduce a method for learning and adapting cooperative control strategies in real-time stochastic domains. Our framework is an instance of the intelligent cooperative control architecture (iCCA). The agent starts by following the “safe” plan calculated by the planning module and incrementally adapting its policy to maximize the cumulative rewards. Actor-critic and consensusbased bundle algorithm (CBBA) were employed as the building blocks of the iCCA framework. We demonstrate the performance of our approach by simulating limited fuel unmanned aerial vehicles aiming for stochastic targets. In one experiment where the optimal solution can be calculated, the integrated framework boosted the optimality of the solution by an average of %10, when compared to running each of the modules individually, while keeping the computational load within the requirements for real-time implementation.

Parameter Sharing Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient for Cooperative Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning
Deep reinforcement learning for multi-agent cooperation and competition has been a hot topic recently. This paper focuses on cooperative multi-agent problem based on actor-critic methods under local observations settings. Multi agent deep deterministic policy gradient obtained state of art results for some multi-agent games, whereas, it cannot scale well with growing amount of agents. In order ...
متن کاملG Uide a Ctor - C Ritic for C Ontinuous C Ontrol
Actor-critic methods solve reinforcement learning problems by updating a parameterized policy known as an actor in a direction that increases an estimate of the expected return known as a critic. However, existing actor-critic methods only use values or gradients of the critic to update the policy parameter. In this paper, we propose a novel actor-critic method called the guide actor-critic (GA...
متن کاملNatural Actor-Critic
This paper investigates a novel model-free reinforcement learning architecture, the Natural Actor-Critic. The actor updates are based on stochastic policy gradients employing Amari’s natural gradient approach, while the critic obtains both the natural policy gradient and additional parameters of a value function simultaneously by linear regression. We show that actor improvements with natural p...
متن کاملCooperative Multi-agent Control Using Deep Reinforcement Learning
This work considers the problem of learning cooperative policies in complex, partially observable domains without explicit communication. We extend three classes of single-agent deep reinforcement learning algorithms based on policy gradient, temporal-difference error, and actor-critic methods to cooperative multi-agent systems. We introduce a set of cooperative control tasks that includes task...
متن کاملConvergent Actor-Critic Algorithms Under Off-Policy Training and Function Approximation
We present the first class of policy-gradient algorithms that work with both state-value and policy function-approximation, and are guaranteed to converge under off-policy training. Our solution targets problems in reinforcement learning where the action representation adds to thecurse-of-dimensionality; that is, with continuous or large action sets, thus making it infeasible to estimate state-...
