Reinforcement learning (RL) and trajectory optimization (TO) present strong complementary advantages. On one hand, RL approaches are able to learn global control policies directly from data, but generally require large sample sizes to properly converge towards feasible policies. On the other hand, TO methods are able to exploit gradient-based information extracted from simulators to quickly converge towards a locally optimal control trajectory which is only valid within the vicinity of the solution. Over the past decade, several approaches have aimed to adequately combine the two classes of methods in order to obtain the best of both worlds. Following on from this line of research, we propose several improvements on top of these approaches to learn global control policies quicker, notably by leveraging sensitivity information stemming from TO methods via Sobolev learning, and augmented Lagrangian techniques to enforce the consensus between TO and policy learning. We evaluate the benefits of these improvements on various classical tasks in robotics through comparison with existing approaches in the literature.

Cheung和Piliouras(2020)最近表明,乘法权重更新方法的两个变体- OMWU和MWU -根据游戏是零和还是合作而显示相反的收敛特性。受这项工作和最近的文献学习优化单功能的启发,我们引入了一个新的框架,学习最后一次收敛到纳什均衡的游戏,其中更新规则的系数(学习率)沿轨迹学习的强化学习策略,是有条件的游戏的性质:\textit{the game signature}。我们构造后者使用一个新的分解成8个组件对应于交换投影算子的两个玩家的游戏,推广和统一最近的游戏概念在文献中研究。我们比较了各种更新规则的性能时,他们的系数学习,并表明RL政策是能够利用游戏签名在广泛的游戏类型。在这样做时,我们引入CMWU,一个新的算法,扩展共识优化的约束情况下,具有局部收敛保证零和双矩阵游戏,并显示它享有竞争力的性能与常系数的零和游戏和整个频谱的游戏时,其系数的学习。
