Original abstract
Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) offers powerful control for industrial cyber-physical systems (ICPSs), but its "black-box" exploration risks violating strict hardware safety limits. Typically, these constraints are managed through complex reward shaping. In this work-in-progress paper, we embed a differentiable physics model directly into the proximal policy optimization (PPO) actor loss function. By simulating short-horizon future trajectories during training, the policy is penalized for anticipated safety violations independent of the task-reward signal. Evaluated on a simulated 1-degree-of-freedom helicopter testbed with strict pitch constraints, our physics-informed soft regularizations substantially reduce constraint violations while maintaining reliable target tracking.
