contents This paper presents an approach for autonomous docking of a fully actuated autonomous surface vessel using expert demonstration data. We frame the docking problem as an imitation learning task and employ inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) to learn a reward function from expert trajectories. A two-stage neural network architecture is implemented to incorporate both environmental context from sensors and vehicle kinematics into the reward function. The learned reward is then used with a motion planner to generate docking trajectories. Experiments in simulation demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach in producing human-like docking behaviors across different environmental configurations.
