A proximal policy optimization based deep reinforcement learning framework for tracking control of a flexible robotic manipulator by Joshi Kumar V, Vinodh Kumar Elumalai

“…Hence, in this study, we adopt the PPO technique which utilizes first-order optimization to minimize the computational complexity and devise a DRL scheme for a partially observable flexible link robot manipulator system. Specifically, to improve the stability and convergence in PPO algorithm, this study adopts a collaborative policy approach in the update of value function and presents a collaborative proximal policy optimization (CPPO) algorithm that can address the tracking control and vibration suppression problems in partially observable robotic manipulator system. …”
