AGV autonomous intelligentn avigation algorithm based on improved DDPG
An autonomous intelligent navigation algorithm for automatic guided vehicles(AGV) based on an improved deep deterministic policy gradient(DDPG) is proposed.First,an adaptive exploration strategy based on environmental risk is introduced,which includes predicting the trajectories of dynamic obstacles. Next, a multi-objective weighted reward function is designed to guide the AGV to reach its destination as quickly as possible while avoiding obstacles and staying within boundaries.Then,experiences are extracted using a dual-factor approach based on risk coefficients and experience freshness,which shortens the training cycle and improves training quality. Finally,action rehearsal during runtime further reduces the risk of collisions and boundary violations. To validate the algorithm's performance,simulation experiments were conducted under different numbers,sizes,and speeds of obstacles.The results showed that the AGV navigation algorithm based on the improved DDPG achieved an average success rate of 94.8%, an average timeout rate below 3%,and an average collision rate below 2.3%. Moreover,both the training cycles and navigation time were shorter than those of comparison algorithms, showing clear advantages.
