Adversarial Reinforcement Learning for Control System Design: A Deep Reinforcement Learning Approach

Yang, Zhaoyuan, Yang

Abstract Details

2018, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Electrical and Computer Engineering.
We adapt idea of adversarial reinforcement learning to numerical state inputs of controllers. We propose an idea of generating adversarial noises for inputs of controllers using deep reinforcement learning. We also propose an idea of using reinforcement learning agent as observer and using observer to reduce effect of adversarial noise. Idea of using reinforcement learning as observer may be helpful for adapting knowledge from simulation to real world. We performed a sequence of analyses about adversarial reinforcement learning and deep reinforcement learning. Through analysis, we discover deep reinforcement learning agent learnt in ideal environment is not robust to adversarial noise and learning in adversarial environment will make agent robust in both adversarial and non-adversarial environment. We make several conjectures about phenomena we observe, and propose an idea of how to let deep reinforcement learning agent better use state information. We also propose an idea of how to use neural network to find policies optimize cost objective automatically. In the end, we discuss possible works could be done in the future.
