• Abstract: Robotic catheterization is typically used for percutaneous coronary intervention procedures nowadays and it involves steering flexible endovascular tools to open up occlusion in the coronaries. In this study, a sample-efficient deep reinforcement learning with episodic policy transfer is, for the first time, used for motion control during robotic catheterization with fully adaptive PID tuning strategy. The reinforcement model aids the agent to continuously learn from its interactions in its environment and adaptively tune PID control gains for axial navigation of endovascular tool. The model was validated for axial motion control of a robotic system designed for intravascular catheterization. Simulation and experimental trials were done to validate the application of the model, and results obtained shows it could self-tune PID gains appropriately for motion control of a robotic catheter system. Performance comparison with conventional methods in average of 10 trials shows the agent tunes the gain better with error of 0.003 mm. Thus, the proposed model would offer more stable set-point motion control robotic catheterization.

  We propose a Human Intervention (HI)-based Proximal Policy Optimization framework, dubbed HI-PPO, to enhance RDE's safety. We introduce an Enhanced Exploration Mechanism (EEM) to address the low exploration efficiency of the standard PPO.

  Scaled robotic cars are commonly equipped with a hierarchical control acthiecture that includes tasks dedicated to vehicle state estimation and control.

The experimentally validated model is used for (i) supporting the design of the FEKF and (ii) serving as a digital twin for training the proposed DRL-based path tracking algorithm.

  State-of-the art robotic applications utilize series elastic actuators (SEAs) with closed-loop force control to achieve complex tasks such as walking, lifting, and manipulation. Model-free PID control methods are more prone to instability due to nonlinearities in the SEA.
