Learning-Based Multi-UAV Flocking Control With Limited Visual Field and Instinctive Repulsion

This article explores deep reinforcement learning (DRL) for the flocking control of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms. The flocking control policy is trained using a centralized-learning-decentralized-execution (CTDE) paradigm, where a centralized critic network augmented with additional information about the entire UAV swarm is utilized...

A Secure Robot Learning Framework for Cyber Attack Scheduling and Countermeasure

The problem of learning-based control for robots has been extensively studied, whereas the security issue under malicious adversaries has not been paid much attention to. Malicious adversaries can invade intelligent devices and communication networks used in robots, causing incidents, achieving illegal objectives, and even injuring people....

Deep reinforcement learning control approach to mitigating actuator attacks

This paper investigates the deep reinforcement learning based secure control problem for cyber–physical systems (CPS) under false data injection attacks. We describe the CPS under attacks as a Markov decision process (MDP), based on which the secure controller design for CPS under attacks is formulated as an action policy learning using data....

Learning-Based Multi-Robot Formation Control With Obstacle Avoidance

Multi-robot formation control has been intensively studied in recent years. In practical applications, the multi-robot system's ability to independently change the formation to avoid collision among the robots or with obstacles is critical. In this study, a multi-robot adaptive formation control framework based on deep reinforcement learning...
