In MATLAB and Simulink, creating a reinforcement learning model where the actor and critic networks receive different input vectors can be a bit tricky because the default setup is designed for them to share the same observation input. However, there are ways to work around this limitation.
Here are some suggestions on how to feed different input vectors to the actor and critic in a Simulink environment.
The first option is custom MATLAB code:
- Define Custom Networks in MATLAB
- Create Actor and Critic Representations
- Create a Custom Training Loop
- Integrate with Simulink
The second option is modifying simulink model:
- Split Observation Vector
- Use Subsystems
- Combine Outputs
- Customize Training Algorithm
If you are encountering specific errors when trying to implement different inputs for the actor and critic, it would be helpful to look at the error messages and the documentation to understand the constraints of the RL Agent block and the reinforcement learning toolbox in MATLAB. Depending on the nature of the errors, you might be able to adjust your model or code to work within those constraints.
In summary, while it is possible to feed different input vectors to the actor and critic in a reinforcement learning model in Simulink, it requires a more advanced setup and potentially custom MATLAB code to manage the training process.
