摘要

In this paper, we explore the optimization of hyperparameters for the Soft Actor-Critic (SAC) and Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithms using the Tree-structured Parzen Estimator (TPE) in the context of robotic arm control with seven Degrees of Freedom (DOF). Our results demonstrate a significant enhancement in algorithm performance, TPE improves the success rate of SAC by 10.48% points and PPO by 34.28% points, where models trained for 50K episodes. Furthermore, TPE enables PPO to converge to a reward within 95% of the maximum reward 76% faster than without TPE, which translates to about 40K fewer episodes of training required for optimal performance. Also, this improvement for SAC is 80% faster than without TPE.  This study underscores the impact of advanced hyperparameter optimization on the efficiency and success of deep reinforcement learning algorithms in complex robotic tasks.
