Real-Time Reinforcement Learning for Dynamic Tasks with a Parallel Soft Robot
James Avtges, Jake Ketchum, Millicent Schlafly +5
Closed-loop control remains an open challenge in soft robotics. The nonlinear responses of soft actuators under dynamic loading conditions limit the use of analytic models for soft…
