Designing Composites with Target Effective Young's Modulus using Reinforcement Learning
Aldair E. Gongora, Siddharth Mysore, Beichen Li +5
Advancements in additive manufacturing have enabled design and fabrication of materials and structures not previously realizable. In particular, the design space of composite mater…
Honey, I Shrunk The Actor: A Case Study on Preserving Performance with Smaller Actors in Actor-Critic RL
Siddharth Mysore, Bassel Mabsout, Renato Mancuso +1
Actors and critics in actor-critic reinforcement learning algorithms are functionally separate, yet they often use the same network architectures. This case study explores the perf…
How to Train your Quadrotor: A Framework for Consistently Smooth and Responsive Flight Control via Reinforcement Learning
Siddharth Mysore, Bassel Mabsout, Kate Saenko +1
We focus on the problem of reliably training Reinforcement Learning (RL) models (agents) for stable low-level control in embedded systems and test our methods on a high-performance…
Regularizing Action Policies for Smooth Control with Reinforcement Learning
Siddharth Mysore, Bassel Mabsout, Renato Mancuso +1
A critical problem with the practical utility of controllers trained with deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) is the notable lack of smoothness in the actions learned by the RL polici…
