This article describes a study on the use of deep reinforcement learning for autonomous drone navigation, focusing on the field of security and monitoring. The real-world application that this article seeks to justify is how this drone will navigate and deal with adversities encountered during its mission. The validation of the results occurs through simulation on a farm, where the drone follows a predefined path. To achieve this, a method called D4PG, with parallelization and distribution capabilities, was applied to handle the learning aspect. The Hydrone is a hybrid quadcopter drone that operates exclusively in the aerial domain, and it was the chosen model employed in the study. The models were trained using both methods in environments of varying complexity, and the results showed that they were able to converge to the expected outcome in most of the proposed challenges. This is a promising study and may enable the application of these methods in various contexts related to robotics and autonomous aerial navigation.

摘要

This article describes a study on the use of deep reinforcement learning for autonomous drone navigation, focusing on the field of security and monitoring. The real-world application that this article seeks to justify is how this drone will navigate and deal with adversities encountered during its mission. The validation of the results occurs through simulation on a farm, where the drone follows a predefined path. To achieve this, a method called D4PG, with parallelization and distribution capabilities, was applied to handle the learning aspect. The Hydrone is a hybrid quadcopter drone that operates exclusively in the aerial domain, and it was the chosen model employed in the study. The models were trained using both methods in environments of varying complexity, and the results showed that they were able to converge to the expected outcome in most of the proposed challenges. This is a promising study and may enable the application of these methods in various contexts related to robotics and autonomous aerial navigation.
