Enhancing Robotic Navigation: An Evaluation of Single and Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning Strategies

This study presents a comparative analysis between single-objective and multi-objective reinforcement learning methods for training a robot to navigate effectively to an end goal while efficiently avoiding obstacles. Traditional reinforcement learning techniques, namely Deep Q-Network (DQN), Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG), and Twin Delayed DDPG (TD3), have been evaluated using the Gazebo simulation framework in a variety of environments with parameters such as random goal and robot starting locations. These methods provide a numerical reward to the robot, offering an indication of action quality in relation to the goal. However, their limitations become apparent in complex settings where multiple, potentially conflicting, objectives are present. To address these limitations, we propose an approach employing Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning (MORL). By modifying the reward function to return a vector of rewards, each pertaining to a distinct objective, the robot learns a policy that effectively balances the different goals, aiming to achieve a Pareto optimal solution. This comparative study highlights the potential for MORL in complex, dynamic robotic navigation tasks, setting the stage for future investigations into more adaptable and robust robotic behaviors.
