摘要： Dexterous manipulation and gradual placement are crucial for preserving fruit integrity during harvesting. Addressing the limitations of conventional path planning methods in learning manual compliant skills, we propose a novel method for tomato bunch collection that integrates human-robot skill transfer with Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG). In our method, a demonstrator manually guided the robotic arm using an existing tomato collection mechanism, with spatial trajectories recorded as demonstration paths. We then developed an enhanced DDPG-Z model that incorporates human skill replay for pre-training, expert reward regression loss to stabilize pre-training, and dynamic step-length returns to balance short- and long-term rewards. Subsequently, the agent was trained to minimize the deviations of key points between the demonstration paths and actual paths, effectively approximating human operations. In a highly realistic simulation environment, our method achieved a 25% improvement in convergence speed, a 10.3% increase in post-convergence reward, and a 51.3% boost in destination accuracy compared to the case without the demonstrations, whereas classical models such as DDPG, SAC (Soft Actor-Critic), and TD3 (Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient) failed to converge within the prescribed episodes. This work provides valuable insights for enhancing the compliant operational performance of agricultural robots.
