Reinforcement learning uses symmetry and data augmentation for faster aircraft control

Researchers have developed a new method for offline reinforcement learning that leverages the symmetry of dynamical systems to improve sample efficiency. This approach uses symmetric data augmentation to enhance the state-action space coverage within the Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient algorithm. A dual-critic structure, with one critic trained on augmented samples, further boosts sample utilization, leading to faster policy convergence in simulations, particularly for aircraft attitude control.
