Achieving Safe Deep Reinforcement Learning via Environment Comprehension Mechanism

Peng Pai et al.

Summary: Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has achieved great success by combining deep learning with reinforcement learning. However, during the learning process, agents may reach worthless and dangerous states that lead to task failure. To address this issue, an algorithm called Environment Comprehension Mechanism (ECM) is proposed for deep reinforcement learning to help agents make safer decisions by analyzing and comprehending the environment, setting up constraints dynamically, and avoiding inappropriate actions systematically. The experiment results indicate that ECM promotes safety and stability in control tasks.
