Abstract: A distributed approach to Reinforcement Learning (RL) in multi-link robot control tasks is presented. One of the main drawbacks of classical RL is the combinatorial explosion when multiple states variables and multiple actuators are needed to optimally control a complex agent in a dynamical environment. In this paper we present an approach to avoid this drawback based on a distributed RL architecture. The experimental results in learning a control policy for diverse kind of multi-link robotic models clearly shows that it is not necessary that each individual RL-agent perceives the complete state space in order to learn a good global policy but only a reduced state space directly related to its own environmental experience. The proposed architecture combined with the use of continuous reward functions results of an impressive improvement of the learning speed making tractable some learning problems in which a classical RL with discrete rewards (-1,0,1) does not work.
