Tactile Curiosity Drives Robot Interaction
Klemens Iten, Alexander Proshkin, Bhavya Sukhija +4
Mastering robot manipulation skills via reinforcement learning (RL) remains largely sample-inefficient. The most common RL algorithms rely on random action sampling to discover new…
Model-Based Reinforcement Learning for Control under Time-Varying Dynamics
Klemens Iten, Bruce Lee, Chenhao Li +3
Learning-based control methods typically assume stationary system dynamics, an assumption often violated in real-world systems due to drift, wear, or changing operating conditions.…
Learning Soft Robotic Dynamics with Active Exploration
Hehui Zheng, Bhavya Sukhija, Chenhao Li +3
Soft robots offer unmatched adaptability and safety in unstructured environments, yet their compliant, high-dimensional, and nonlinear dynamics make modeling for control notoriousl…
Sample-efficient and Scalable Exploration in Continuous-Time RL
Klemens Iten, Lenart Treven, Bhavya Sukhija +2
Reinforcement learning algorithms are typically designed for discrete-time dynamics, even though the underlying real-world control systems are often continuous in time. In this pap…
