Rule-based High-Level Coaching for Goal-Conditioned Reinforcement Learning in Search-and-Rescue UAV Missions Under Limited-Simulation Training
Learn how to apply rule-based high-level coaching to goal-conditioned reinforcement learning for search-and-rescue UAV missions with limited simulation training
- Define a hierarchical decision-making framework for UAV missions using a combination of rule-based high-level advisors and online goal-conditioned low-level reinforcement learning controllers
- Implement a fixed rule-based high-level advisor to provide guidance on high-level decisions
- Develop an online goal-conditioned low-level reinforcement learning controller to adapt to changing environments and learn from experiences
- Integrate the high-level advisor and low-level controller to enable seamless decision-making
- Test and evaluate the framework under limited simulation training and strict no-pretraining deployment regimes
Researchers and engineers working on autonomous UAV systems for search-and-rescue missions can benefit from this framework to improve decision-making under limited simulation training. This can be particularly useful for teams with limited access to simulation resources or those that need to adapt quickly to new environments.

arXiv:2604.26833v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper presents a hierarchical decision-making framework for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) missions motivated by search-and-rescue (SAR) scenarios under limited simulation training. The framework combines a fixed rule-based high-level advisor with an online goal-conditioned low-level reinforcement learning (RL) controller. To stress-test early adaptation, we also consider a strict no-pretraining deployment regime. The high-level advisor is de
