Resumen

Due to its flexibility and versatility, the electric distributed drive micro-tillage chassis can be used more often in the future in Intelligence agriculture scenarios. However, due to the complex working conditions of the agricultural operation environment, it is a challenging task to distribute the torque demand of four wheels reasonably and effectively. In this paper, we propose a drive torque allocation strategy based on deep reinforcement learning to ensure straight-line retention and energy saving, using a distributed electric traction chassis for greenhouses as the research object. The torque assignment strategy can be represented as a Markovian decision process, and the approximate action values and policy functions are obtained through an Actor?Critic network, and the Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (TD3) is used to incorporate the vehicle straight-line retention rate into the cumulative reward to reduce energy consumption. The training results under plowing working conditions show that the proposed strategy has a better straight-line retention rate. For typical farming operation conditions, the proposed control strategy significantly improves the energy utilization and reduces the energy by 10.5% and 3.7% compared to the conventional average torque (CAT) distribution strategy and Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) algorithm, respectively. Finally, the real-time executability of the proposed torque distribution strategy is verified by Soil-tank experiments. The TD3 algorithm used in this study has stronger applicability than the traditional control algorithm in dealing with continuous control problems, and provides a research basis for the practical application of intelligent control algorithms in future greenhouse micro-tillage chassis drive control strategies.
