Transfer of knowledge for a climbing Virtual Human: A reinforcement learning approach

摘要

In the reinforcement learning literature, transfer is the capability to reuse on a new problem what has been learnt from previous experiences on similar problems. Adapting transfer properties for robotics is a useful challenge because it can reduce the time spent in the first exploration phase on a new problem. In this paper we present a transfer framework adapted to the case of a climbing virtual human (VH). We show that our VH learns faster to climb a wall after having learnt on a different previous wall.
