This paper presents a Reinforcement Learning (RL)-based control framework for position and attitude control of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) subjected to significant disturbances.
The proposed method enables the system to anticipate and counteract disturbances by learning the relationship between the trigger signal and disturbance force.
Three policies were trained and evaluated: a baseline policy without exposure to disturbances, a reactive policy trained with disturbances but without the trigger signal, and a predictive policy that incorporates the trigger signal as an observation and is exposed to disturbances during training.
Simulation results demonstrate that the predictive policy outperforms the other policies by proactively correcting position deviations and improving UAS performance.
