Abstract

Dynamic 3D mazes present more challenging environments for reinforcement learning due to their uncertainty and incomplete information. Conventional reward functions can lead to slow and ineffective task training. This paper proposed an event-triggered integrated rewards scheme to solve the problem of finding multiple targets in a dynamic maze using reinforcement learning. The scheme expressed the various behavioral states in the 3D maze as events, which in turn derived the rewards. This paper divided rewards into environmental rewards and internal rewards. Environmental rewards directly related to the 3D maze mission and included node rewards reflecting the mission objectives and constraint rewards reflecting the mission constraints. Internal rewards linked to the agent's emotional state during the learning process and encompassed both judgement and mood rewards. The average performance of the integrated reward shows a 54.66% improvement compared to the upgraded reward. The results suggest that the integrated reward scheme offers benefits by increasing satisfaction with task completion, promoting exploration, and boosting training efficiency.
