Abstract

Hole-peg assembly using robot is widely used to validate the abilities of autonomous assembly task. Currently, the autonomous assembly is mainly depended on the high precision of position, force measurement and the compliant control method. The assembly process is complicated and the ability in unknown situations is relatively low. In this paper, a kind of assembly strategy based on deep reinforcement learning is proposed using the TD3 reinforcement learning algorithm based on DDPG and an adaptive annealing guide is added into the exploration process which greatly accelerates the convergence rate of deep reinforcement learning. The assembly task can be finished by the intelligent agent based on the measurement information of force-moment and the pose. In this paper, the training and verification of assembly verification is realized on the V-rep simulation platform and the UR5 manipulator.
