DC Motor Control using Deep Reinforcement Learning for Enhanced Robustness and Precision
Abstract: DC motors remain the workhorse of industrial automation and mobile robotics, but achieving simultaneous high-speed transient response and negligible steady-state error under variable load conditions continues to challenge classical Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers. These model-dependent systems often require extensive tuning and struggle to maintain optimal performance when confronted with parametric uncertainties, non-linear friction, or sudden voltage fluctuations. This study presents a novel, model-free control paradigm utilizing Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL)—specifically, a …
