Vis-To-Nav: Visual Autonomous Navigation for Mobile Robots with a Limited Field of View
摘要
Visual navigation of robots is a trending topic in the research field. This paper presents a target-driven navigation method that uses Transformers to achieve optimal environmental perception. With this perception, a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) agent based on the Soft Actor Critic (SAC) algorithm can take optimal actions to reach the target. Our method uses a depth image with a field of view (FOV) limited to about 66°, allowing for more precise perception and improved generalization capability of our model. The results show superior performance compared to the model using a Fisheye image with a 220-degree FOV.
