SACPlanner: Real-World Collision Avoidance with a Soft Actor Critic Local Planner and Polar State Representations

We study the training performance of ROS local planners based on Reinforcement Learning (RL), and the trajectories they produce on real-world robots. We show that recent enhancements to the Soft Actor Critic (SAC) algorithm such as RAD and DrQ achieve almost perfect training after only 10000 episode…
