A comparison of RL-based and PID controllers for 6-DOF swimming robots: hybrid underwater object tracking
Faraz Lotfi, Khalil Virji, Nicholas Dudek +1
In this paper, we present an exploration and assessment of employing a centralized deep Q-network (DQN) controller as a substitute for the prevalent use of PID controllers in the c…
