4. PPO策略更新循环

任务目标

实现一个完整的PPO策略更新循环，包含与环境交互采样、GAE优势估计、策略网络与价值网络的裁剪更新。本案例使用CartPole-v1作为验证环境，在单次训练迭代中完成采样→优势计算→多轮更新的完整闭环。

# ---------- 网络定义 ----------

    def __init__(self, obs_dim, act_dim):

            nn.Linear(obs_dim, 64), nn.Tanh(),
            nn.Linear(64, 64), nn.Tanh())
        self.pi = nn.Linear(64, act_dim)
        self.v = nn.Linear(64, 1)

    def forward(self, x):
        h = self.fc(x)
        return Categorical(logits=self.pi(h)), self.v(h).squeeze(-1)

# ---------- 采样 ----------

    obs, _ = env.reset()
    for _ in range(max_steps):
        obs_t = torch.FloatTensor(obs)
        dist, _ = policy(obs_t)
        act = dist.sample()
        logp = dist.log_prob(act)
        obs2, rew, term, trunc, _ = env.step(act.item())
        obs_list.append(obs)

        if term or trunc:
            obs, _ = env.reset()
    return obs_list, act_list, rew_list, logp_list

# ---------- GAE优势估计 ----------
def compute_gae(policy, obs_list, rew_list):

    with torch.no_grad():
        _, values = policy(obs_t)
    advantages = []
    gae = 0.0
    for t in reversed(range(len(rew_list))):
        next_v = values[t + 1] if t + 1 < len(rew_list) else 0.0
        delta = rew_list[t] + GAMMA * next_v - values[t]
        gae = delta + GAMMA * LAMBDA * gae
        advantages.insert(0, gae)
    returns = [adv + v for adv, v in zip(advantages, values.tolist())]
    return torch.FloatTensor(advantages), torch.FloatTensor(returns)

# ---------- PPO更新 ----------
def ppo_update(policy, optimizer, obs_list, act_list, logp_list, advantages, returns):
    obs_t = torch.FloatTensor(obs_list)
    act_t = torch.LongTensor(act_list)
    old_logp_t = torch.FloatTensor(logp_list)
    adv_t = (advantages - advantages.mean()) / (advantages.std() + 1e-8)

        for i in range(0, len(obs_t), BATCH_SIZE):
            batch = idx[i:i + BATCH_SIZE]
            dist, values = policy(obs_t[batch])
            logp = dist.log_prob(act_t[batch])
            ratio = torch.exp(logp - old_logp_t[batch])
            surr1 = ratio * adv_t[batch]
            surr2 = torch.clamp(ratio, 1 - CLIP_EPS, 1 + CLIP_EPS) * adv_t[batch]
            policy_loss = -torch.min(surr1, surr2).mean()
            value_loss = nn.MSELoss()(values, returns[batch])
            loss = policy_loss + 0.5 * value_loss
            optimizer.zero_grad()
            loss.backward()
            optimizer.step()

# ---------- 训练主循环 ----------
env = gym.make("CartPole-v1")
policy = PolicyNet(4, 2)
optimizer = optim.Adam(policy.parameters(), lr=LR)

obs_list, act_list, rew_list, logp_list = collect_rollout(env, policy, MAX_STEPS)
advantages, returns = compute_gae(policy, obs_list, rew_list)
ppo_update(policy, optimizer, obs_list, act_list, logp_list, advantages, returns)
print(f"采样步数: {len(rew_list)}, 平均奖励: {sum(rew_list) / len(rew_list):.2f}")

运行与验证

依赖安装：

pip install torch gymnasium

运行方式：直接执行上述脚本。程序会完成一次完整的PPO更新迭代（2000步采样 + 4轮小批量更新）。

通过条件：

1. 脚本无报错正常退出，并打印采样步数与平均奖励；
2. 平均奖励应大于随机策略基线（CartPole随机策略平均约20～30步），说明策略已从采样数据中获得有效学习信号；
3. 将上述主循环放入for iteration in range(100)中重复执行，平均奖励应随迭代次数逐步上升，最终接近或达到500（CartPole-v1的终止上限），即可确认PPO更新循环正确收敛。

关键点说明：

• GAE计算中values[t+1]在终止步后置0，这是优势估计正确性的关键；
• 优势标准化（减均值除标准差）能显著提升训练稳定性；
• 策略损失使用min(surr1, surr2)实现裁剪，防止更新步幅过大。
