Reinforcement learning enhances autonomous target tracking accuracy and robustness

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a deep reinforcement learning approach for autonomous bearings-only tracking of moving targets. The system formulates the observer maneuver problem as a belief Markov decision process, using a Cubature Kalman Filter to represent the belief state. A reward function balances minimizing estimation error with maintaining filter consistency, and the policy was trained using a deep Q-network over 50,000 episodes. AI

IMPACT Introduces a novel RL-based control policy for improved target tracking accuracy and robustness in bearings-only scenarios.
