Abstract:

Brain-inspired deep reinforcement learning has recently led to a wide range of successes in different domains such as artificial intelligence and robotics. The method combining both advantages of deep learning and reinforcement learning gets strong capability of perception and decision-making. In this paper, we first provide a brief overview of two kinds of widely used deep reinforcement learning method and their fundamentals, then introduce the current status of deep reinforcement learning applying on quadruped robots. Finally, by summarizing the existing methods and the characteristics of locomotion for quadruped robots, we present future potential of deep reinforcement learning on quadruped robots.

Key words: Machine learning, Deep reinforcement learning, Quadruped robot, Locomotion control, Gait learning
