📝 摘要（中文）

深度强化学习（DRL）已成为机器学习和人工智能中复杂决策的重要工具。然而，传统方法通常假设完美的动作执行，忽视了代理选择的动作与实际系统响应之间的差异。在机器人、机电一体化和通信网络等实际应用中，由于系统动态、硬件限制和延迟等因素导致的执行不匹配会显著降低性能。本研究提出了一种新颖的控制优化DRL框架，明确建模并补偿动作执行不匹配，建立了一个结构化的两阶段过程：确定期望动作和选择适当的控制信号以确保正确执行。通过在训练过程中考虑这些因素，AI代理能够优化期望动作，从而提高在现实世界不确定性下的决策有效性。

🔬 方法详解

问题定义：本研究旨在解决深度强化学习中动作执行不匹配的问题，现有方法未能有效处理因系统动态和硬件限制导致的执行误差。

核心思路：提出的框架通过明确建模执行不匹配，采用两阶段过程来优化动作选择和控制信号，从而提高决策的准确性和鲁棒性。

技术框架：整体架构包括两个主要阶段：第一阶段确定期望动作，第二阶段选择适当的控制信号以确保动作的正确执行。训练过程中同时考虑动作不匹配和控制器修正。

关键创新：该研究的创新在于将执行不匹配的建模与补偿机制纳入DRL训练过程，显著提高了智能代理在实际应用中的适应能力。

关键设计：在设计中，采用了针对动作不匹配的损失函数和控制信号优化策略，确保代理在训练时能够有效应对执行误差。具体的网络结构和参数设置在实验中进行了详细验证。

该研究的框架可广泛应用于机器人、机电一体化和通信网络等领域，能够有效提升智能系统在复杂环境中的决策能力和执行精度。未来，该方法有望推动智能代理在动态和不确定环境中的应用，提升工程实践的效率和可靠性。

📄 摘要（原文）

Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has become a powerful tool for complex decision-making in machine learning and AI. However, traditional methods often assume perfect action execution, overlooking the uncertainties and deviations between an agent's selected actions and the actual system response. In real-world applications, such as robotics, mechatronics, and communication networks, execution mismatches arising from system dynamics, hardware constraints, and latency can significantly degrade performance. This work advances AI by developing a novel control-optimized DRL framework that explicitly models and compensates for action execution mismatches, a challenge largely overlooked in existing methods. Our approach establishes a structured two-stage process: determining the desired action and selecting the appropriate control signal to ensure proper execution. It trains the agent while accounting for action mismatches and controller corrections. By incorporating these factors into the training process, the AI agent optimizes the desired action with respect to both the actual control signal and the intended outcome, explicitly considering execution errors. This approach enhances robustness, ensuring that decision-making remains effective under real-world uncertainties. Our approach offers a substantial advancement for engineering practice by bridging the gap between idealized learning and real-world implementation. It equips intelligent agents operating in engineering environments with the ability to anticipate and adjust for actuation errors and system disturbances during training. We evaluate the framework in five widely used open-source mechanical simulation environments we restructured and developed to reflect real-world operating conditions, showcasing its robustness against uncertainties and offering a highly practical and efficient solution for control-oriented applications.
