Reinforcement Learning Based Data-Driven Control Method for Dynamic Systems and Its Application to FLUIDMechatronix Platform
摘要
With the increasing complexity of industrial process, accurate models of automatic control systems are difficult to be established, which makes model-based control methods become less effective. On this premise, a reinforcement learning (RL) based data-driven control method for dynamic systems is proposed in this paper. For our purposes, a model-free RL controller with an Actor-Critic structure is developed by using neural networks (NN), combining the merits of both value-based and policy-based RL algorithms. Policy of the actor is assessed by the critic, updating parameters of RL controller in real-time for online optimization. The effectiveness of the RL controller is demonstrated by an experimental study on FLUIDMechatronix platform.
