Resilient robot teams: a review integrating decentralised control, change-detection, and learning
David M. Bossens, Sarvapali Ramchurn, Danesh Tarapore
Purpose of review: This paper reviews opportunities and challenges for decentralised control, change-detection, and learning in the context of resilient robot teams. Recent finding…
Explicit Explore, Exploit, or Escape (): near-optimal safety-constrained reinforcement learning in polynomial time
David M. Bossens, Nicholas Bishop
In reinforcement learning (RL), an agent must explore an initially unknown environment in order to learn a desired behaviour. When RL agents are deployed in real world environments…
Quality-Diversity Meta-Evolution: customising behaviour spaces to a meta-objective
David M. Bossens, Danesh Tarapore
Quality-Diversity (QD) algorithms evolve behaviourally diverse and high-performing solutions. To illuminate the elite solutions for a space of behaviours, QD algorithms require the…
On the use of feature-maps and parameter control for improved quality-diversity meta-evolution
David M. Bossens, Danesh Tarapore
In Quality-Diversity (QD) algorithms, which evolve a behaviourally diverse archive of high-performing solutions, the behaviour space is a difficult design choice that should be tai…
Rapidly adapting robot swarms with Swarm Map-based Bayesian Optimisation
David M. Bossens, Danesh Tarapore
Rapid performance recovery from unforeseen environmental perturbations remains a grand challenge in swarm robotics. To solve this challenge, we investigate a behaviour adaptation a…
QED: using Quality-Environment-Diversity to evolve resilient robot swarms
David M. Bossens, Danesh Tarapore
In swarm robotics, any of the robots in a swarm may be affected by different faults, resulting in significant performance declines. To allow fault recovery from randomly injected f…
ASVLite: a high-performance simulator for autonomous surface vehicles
Toby Thomas, David M. Bossens, Danesh Tarapore
The energy of ocean waves is the key distinguishing factor of marine environments compared to other aquatic environments such as lakes and rivers. Waves significantly affect the dy…
