Reducing Oscillations for Obstacle Avoidance in a Dense Environment Using Deep Reinforcement Learning and Time-Derivative of an Artificial Potential Field

Obstacle avoidance plays a crucial role in ensuring the safe path planning of quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (QUAVs). In this study, we propose a hierarchical framework for obstacle avoidance, which combines the use of artificial potential field (APF) and deep reinforcement learning (DRL) for tr...
