• Abstract: Among the many variants of RL, an important class of problems is where the state and action spaces are continuous -- autonomous robots, autonomous vehicles, optimal control are all examples of such problems that can lend themselves naturally to reinforcement based algorithms, and have continuous state and action spaces. In this paper, we introduce a prioritized form of a combination of state-of-the-art approaches such as Deep Q-learning (DQN) and Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) to outperform the earlier results for continuous state and action space problems. Our experiments also involve the use of parameter noise during training resulting in more robust deep RL models outperforming the earlier results significantly. We believe these results are a valuable addition for continuous state and action space problems.

Our work indicates that an adaptive control resolution in combination with value decomposition yields simple critic-only algorithms that yield surprisingly strong performance on continuous control tasks.

  Deep reinforcement learning algorithms can perform poorly in real-world tasks due to discrepancy between source and target environments. We propose a novel model-free actor-critic algorithm to learn robust policies without modeling the disturbance in advance. Experiments in several robot control tasks demonstrate that SCPO learns robust policies against the disturbance in transition dynamics.
