Abstract

This paper focuses on the problem of (AOD). AOD is important for to complete tasks in the family environment, and leads robots to approach the target object by taking appropriate moving actions. Most of the current AOD methods are based on reinforcement learning with low training efficiency and testing accuracy. Therefore, an AOD model based on a (DQN) with a novel training algorithm is proposed in this paper. The DQN model is designed to fit the Q-values of various actions, and includes state space, feature extraction, and a multilayer perceptron. In contrast to existing research, a novel training algorithm based on memory is designed for the proposed DQN model to improve training efficiency and testing accuracy. In addition, a method of generating the end state is presented to judge when to stop the AOD task during the training process. Sufficient comparison experiments and ablation studies are performed based on an AOD dataset, proving that the presented method has better performance than the comparable methods and that the proposed training algorithm is more effective than the raw training algorithm.
