Research on tracking strategy of manipulator based on fusion reward mechanism by Ruyi Dong, Kai Yang, Tong Wang

“…Sparse reward signals lead to blind exploration, affecting the efficiency of the manipulator during path planning for multi-axis systems at any given end-effector start and target position. To address the problem of tracking randomly located targets in three-dimensional space, this paper proposes a PPO (proximal policy optimization) algorithm with a fused reward mechanism, which enhances the tracking and guidance capabilities of the manipulator in multiple dimensions and reduces the blind randomness of the manipulator during the detection and sampling process. …”
