Dynamic Entropy Tuning in Reinforcement Learning Low-Level Quadcopter Control: Stochasticity vs Determinism
arXiv:2512.18336v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper explores the impact of dynamic entropy tuning in Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms that train a stochastic policy. Its performance is compared against algorithms that train a deterministic one. Stochastic policies optimize a probability distribution over actions to maximize rewards, while deterministic policies select a single deterministic action per state. The effect of training a stochastic policy with both static entropy and dynamic entropy and then executing deterministic actions to control the quadcopter is explore
The continuous advancements in AI and robotics research are pushing the boundaries of autonomous control systems, leading to more refined techniques for stability and efficiency.
Improved low-level control for quadcopters through dynamic entropy tuning could lead to more robust and adaptable autonomous systems, relevant for various applications from logistics to defense.
This research refines the understanding of stochastic versus deterministic policies in RL for quadcopter control, potentially enhancing stability and responsiveness in dynamic environments.
