Abstract

This study conducted research mainly on the proven applicability of controlling the unmanned vehicle using a deep reinforcement learning algorithm and relative performance improvements. In specific, this study chose the AirSim platform developed by Microsoft as the simulation environment and conducted simulations mainly in the indoor parking lot Unreal 4 environment. In the simulations, the deep reinforcement learning method applied is Deep Q Networks for its effectiveness as well as simplicity. To improve the performance of the trained network, object detection methodology YOLO v3 is applied as the detection algorithm for the unmanned vehicle, and the network is improved using the output of object detection as its input to accelerate the training process. The implementation of the algorithms has efficiently proven the feasibility of using deep reinforcement learning agents for the unmanned vehicle in the project and the implementation of effective object detection.
