Abstract
In this article we provide experimental results and evaluation of a compensation method which improves the tracking performance of a nominal feedback controller by means of reinforcement learning (RL). The compensator is based on the actor-critic scheme and it adds a correction signal to the nominal control input with the goal to improve the tracking performance using on-line learning. The algorithm has been evaluated on a 6 DOF industrial robot manipulator with the objective to accurately track different types of reference trajectories. An extensive experimental study has shown that the proposed RL-based compensation method significantly improves the performance of the nominal feedback controller.
