Distributed Coach-Based Reinforcement Learning Controller for Snake Robot Locomotion

Yuanyuan Jia,Shugen Ma,Yuanyuan Jia,Shugen Ma

Reinforcement learning commonly suffers from slow convergence speed and requires thousands of episodes, which makes it hard to be applied for physical robotic applications. Little research has been studied for snake robot control using RL because of the additional difficulty of high redundancy of freedom. Existing methods either adopts an asynchronous A3C structure or a joint state representation....
