手作り報酬関数なしの自動カリキュラム強化学習による機動意思決定

原文アブストラクト

Maneuver decision-making is the core of unmanned combat aerial vehicle for autonomous air combat. To solve this problem, we propose an automatic curriculum reinforcement learning method, which enables agents to learn effective decisions in air combat from scratch. The range of initial states are used for distinguishing curricula of different difficulty levels, thereby maneuver decision is divided into a series of sub-tasks from easy to difficult, and test results are used to change sub-tasks. As sub-tasks change, agents gradually learn to complete a series of sub-tasks from easy to difficult, enabling them to make effective maneuvering decisions to cope with various states without the need to spend effort designing reward functions. The ablation studied show that the automatic curriculum learning proposed in this article is an essential component for training through reinforcement learning, namely, agents cannot complete effective decisions without curriculum learning. Simulation experiments show that, after training, agents are able to make effective decisions given different states, including tracking, attacking and escaping, which are both rational and interpretable.
