Original abstract
Reinforcement learning (RL) is a powerful and convenient tool to modernize controller design. In this work, we study the zero-shot transfer of RL-based control policies from simulation to hardware for cart-pole swing-up and stabilization. The two policies are trained independently, and the handoff is implemented in Simulink via switching logic. We apply a first-order action smoothing filter to prevent hardware damage from high-frequency oscillatory actuation. Pairing this bandwidth-aware filtering with sensitivity-guided domain randomization (DR) and a simple linear curriculum learning (CL) schedule, we obtain a swing-up policy that in all of our experiments injects sufficient energy for handoff into the stabilizer's region of attraction. The stabilization policy rejects disturbances within the tested range, and the swing-up policy can re-engage after larger perturbations and restores the pendulum to the inverted position.
