Robotic Arm Trajectory Planning in Dynamic Environments Based on Self-Optimizing Replay Mechanism by Pengyao Xu, Chong Di, Jiandong Lv, Peng Zhao, Chao Chen, Ruotong Wang

“…Trajectory planning tasks based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL) suffer from difficulties in acquiring human expert strategies, low experience utilization (leading to slow convergence), and unreasonable reward function design. To address these issues, this paper designs a neural network-based expert-guided triple experience replay mechanism (NETM) and proposes an improved reward function adapted to dynamic environments. …”
