A New and Effective Reinforcement Learning based on Tentative Q learning and Knowledge Transfer

Abstract— Aiming at the problem of slow learning speed of reinforcement learning, TQL-RWKT-RRL algorithm is put forward, which is based on tentative Q learning and knowledge transfer. Tentative Q learning increases times of exploration in each iteration, and improves updating method of Q value function. Knowledge transfer algorithm realizes knowledge transfer under different state space based on the method of rolling windows. The path planning experiences in the simple small environment is transferred to more complex and larger state space, which speeds up robot path planning learning speed in large and more complex environment.

Index Terms— reinforcement learning, knowledge transfer, rolling windows, robot path-planning
