Learning robot skills from scratch is often time-consuming, while reusing data promotes sustainability, and improves time efficiency. This study investigates policy transfer across different robotic platforms, focusing on peg-in-hole task using reinforcement learning (RL). Policy training is carried out on two different robots. Their policies are training from scratch, transferred and evaluated for zero-shot and fine-tuning. Results indicate that zero-shot transfer leads to lower success rates and relatively longer task execution times while fine-tuning significantly improves performance with fewer training time-steps. These findings highlight that policy transfer with adaptation techniques improves training efficiency and generalization, reducing the need for extensive retraining and supporting sustainable robotic learning.

摘要

Learning robot skills from scratch is often time-consuming, while reusing data promotes sustainability, and improves time efficiency. This study investigates policy transfer across different robotic platforms, focusing on peg-in-hole task using reinforcement learning (RL). Policy training is carried out on two different robots. Their policies are training from scratch, transferred and evaluated for zero-shot and fine-tuning. Results indicate that zero-shot transfer leads to lower success rates and relatively longer task execution times while fine-tuning significantly improves performance with fewer training time-steps. These findings highlight that policy transfer with adaptation techniques improves training efficiency and generalization, reducing the need for extensive retraining and supporting sustainable robotic learning.
