Title
Mobile Robot Path-Tracking Using an Adaptive Critic Learning PD Controller
Abstract
This paper proposes a novel self-learning PD (Proportional-Derivative) control method for mobile robot path-tracking problems. In the self-learning PD control method, a reinforcement-learning (RL) module is used to automatically fine-tune the PD coefficients with only evaluative feedback. The optimization of the PD coefficients is modeled as a Markov decision problem (MDP) with continuous state space. Using an improved AHC (Adaptive Heuristic Critic) learning control method based on recursive least-squares algorithms, the near-optimal control policies of the MDP are approximated efficiently. Besides its simplicity, the self-learning PD controller can be adaptive to uncertainties in the environment as well as the mobile robot dynamics. Simulation and experimental results on a real mobile robot illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
