Abstract

This paper develops a navigation algorithm for vehicles in complex environments, combining a hard guarantee of constraint satisfaction with the ability to learn from successive missions. The method uses receding horizon control for constrained short-term path planning and control, with the cost-to-go developed by reinforcement learning. Simulation results show that the algorithm learns to reproduce the shortest path through an environment with obstacles and can determine good behaviours for multiple surveillance tasks.
