Event-Trigger Reinforcement Learning-Based Coordinate Control of Modular Unmanned System via Nonzero-Sum Game

Decreasing the position error and control torque is important for the coordinate control of a modular unmanned system with less communication burden between the sensor and the actuator. Therefore, this paper proposes event-trigger reinforcement learning (ETRL)-based coordinate control of a modular u...

description Decreasing the position error and control torque is important for the coordinate control of a modular unmanned system with less communication burden between the sensor and the actuator. Therefore, this paper proposes event-trigger reinforcement learning (ETRL)-based coordinate control of a modular unmanned system (MUS) via the nonzero-sum game (NZSG) strategy. The dynamic model of the MUS is established via joint torque feedback (JTF) technology. Based on the NZSG strategy, the existing coordinate control problem is transformed into an RL issue. With the help of the ET mechanism, the periodic communication mechanism of the system is avoided. The ET-critic neural network (NN) is used to approximate the performance index function, thus obtaining the ETRL coordinate control policy. The stability of the closed-loop system is verified via Lyapunov’s theorem. Experiment results demonstrate the validity of the proposed method. The experimental results show that the proposed method reduces the position error by 30% and control torque by 10% compared with the existing control methods.
