Collision avoidance for an unmanned surface vehicle using deep reinforcement learning

Woo, Joohyun, Kim, Nakwan·2020·Ocean Engineering

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, a deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based collision avoidance method is proposed for an unmanned surface vehicle (USV). This approach is applicable to the decision-making stage of collision avoidance, which determines whether the avoidance is necessary, and if so, determines the direction of the avoidance maneuver. To utilize the visual recognition capability of deep neural networks as a tool for analyzing the complex and ambiguous situations that are typically encountered, a grid map representation of the ship encounter situation was suggested. For the composition of the DRL network, we proposed a neural network architecture and semi-Markov decision process model that was specially designed for the USV collision avoidance problem. The proposed DRL network was trained through repeated simulations of collision avoidance. After the training process, the DRL network was implemented in collision avoidance experiments and simulations to evaluate its situation recognition and collision avoidance capability.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
