Abstract

Addressing the exploration challenges faced by mobile robots using deep reinforcement learning for autonomous navigation in cluttered, obstacle-dense complex environments, this paper proposed the trajectory-guided navigation policy optimization(TGNPO) algorithm. Firstly, it employed an imitation learning approach to train an expert policy for a mobile robot, which could provide both expert demonstration behavior and navigation trajectory prediction and aimed to comprehensively guide the training of deep reinforcement learning. Secondly, it fused the predicted navigation trajectory from the expert policy with real-time images perceived by the mobile robot at the current moment. Combining the coordinate attention mechanism, it extracted feature regions which would guide the robot's future navigation, thereby enhancing the learning performance of the navigation model. Finally, it utilized the navigation trajectory predicted by the expert policy to constrain the policy trajectory of the mobile robot, mitigating ineffective exploration and erroneous decision-making during navigation process By deploying the proposed algorithm on both simulation and physical platforms, experimental results demonstrated significant advantages in navigation learning efficiency and trajectory smoothness compared to existing state-of-the-art methods which fully proves the proposed algorithm's capability to efficiently and safely execute robot navigation tasks.
