Robust Reinforcement Learning

Robust reinforcement learning (RL) focuses on developing RL agents that perform well even when faced with uncertainties in the environment, such as noisy observations, model mismatches, or adversarial attacks. Current research emphasizes techniques like adversarial training, distributionally robust optimization, and the use of pessimistic models to improve robustness, often incorporating actor-critic algorithms, model-based approaches, and Lipschitz-constrained policy networks. This field is crucial for deploying RL agents in real-world settings where perfect knowledge of the environment is unrealistic, impacting areas like robotics, autonomous systems, and finance by enabling safer and more reliable AI.
