Trustworthy navigation with variational policy in deep reinforcement learning

Trust-Nav consistently outperforms deterministic DRL approaches, particularly in complicated environments involving noisy conditions and adversarial attacks. This integration of uncertainty into the policy network promotes safer and more reliable navigation, especially in complex or unpredictable environments. Trust-Nav offers a step toward deployable, self-aware robotic systems capable of recognizing and responding to their own limitations.

Abstract

Trust-Nav consistently outperforms deterministic DRL approaches, particularly in complicated environments involving noisy conditions and adversarial attacks. This integration of uncertainty into the policy network promotes safer and more reliable navigation, especially in complex or unpredictable environments. Trust-Nav offers a step toward deployable, self-aware robotic systems capable of recognizing and responding to their own limitations.
