Abstract

The use of Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithms has surged in previous years due to their ability to adapt to a variety of tasks. However, training these algorithms sometimes requires long periods of time, and the resource efficiency can be low. To this end, the current study evaluates the use of an off-policy DRL algorithm, which can efficiently use a large number of resources, during a bipedal motion control task. The proposed algorithm is used to generate a gait pattern during the simulation of a physics-based musculoskeletal model of a healthy subject. As the goal was to achieve normal speed level-ground walking, the training process was assisted using imitation data provided by a public dataset where participants performed such movements. Although the trained policy could not generate a stable gait pattern, the results indicate that the proposed architecture can increase the speed of training, when compared with an on-policy architecture.
