Adversarial Skill Learning for Robust Manipulation
share
Deep reinforcement learning has made significant progress in robotic manipulation tasks and it works well in the ideal disturbance-free environment. However, in a real-world environment, both internal and external disturbances are inevitable, thus the performance of the trained policy will dramatically drop. To improve the robustness of the policy, we introduce the adversarial training mechanism to the robotic manipulation tasks in this paper, and an adversarial skill learning algorithm based on soft actor-critic (SAC) is proposed for robust manipulation. Extensive experiments are conducted to demonstrate that the learned policy is robust to internal and external disturbances. Additionally, the proposed algorithm is evaluated in both the simulation environment and on the real robotic platform.
