contents This paper proposes a deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based event-triggered controller design for networked artificial pancreas (AP) systems. Although existing DRL-based AP controllers typically assume periodic control updates, networked control systems (NCSs) require a reduction in communication frequency to achieve energy-efficient operation, which is directly tied to control updates. However, jointly learning both insulin dosing and update timing significantly increases the complexity of the learning problem. To alleviate this complexity, we develop a practical DRL-based controller design that avoids explicitly learning update timing by introducing a rule-based criterion defined by changes in blood glucose. As a result, decision-making occurs at irregular intervals, and the problem is naturally formulated as a semi-Markov decision process (SMDP), for which we extend a standard DRL algorithm. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed method improves communication efficiency while maintaining control performance.
