JuggleRL: Mastering Ball Juggling with a Quadrotor via Deep Reinforcement Learning
Shilong Ji, Yinuo Chen, Chuqi Wang +9
Aerial robots interacting with objects must perform precise, contact-rich maneuvers under uncertainty. In this paper, we study the problem of aerial ball juggling using a quadrotor…
Mastering Multi-Drone Volleyball through Hierarchical Co-Self-Play Reinforcement Learning
Ruize Zhang, Sirui Xiang, Zelai Xu +6
In this paper, we tackle the problem of learning to play 3v3 multi-drone volleyball, a new embodied competitive task that requires both high-level strategic coordination and low-le…
VolleyBots: A Testbed for Multi-Drone Volleyball Game Combining Motion Control and Strategic Play
Zelai Xu, Ruize Zhang, Chao Yu +9
Robot sports, characterized by well-defined objectives, explicit rules, and dynamic interactions, present ideal scenarios for demonstrating embodied intelligence. In this paper, we…
What Matters in Learning A Zero-Shot Sim-to-Real RL Policy for Quadrotor Control? A Comprehensive Study
Jiayu Chen, Chao Yu, Yuqing Xie +9
Executing precise and agile flight maneuvers is critical for quadrotors in various applications. Traditional quadrotor control approaches are limited by their reliance on flat traj…
Online Planning for Multi-UAV Pursuit-Evasion in Unknown Environments Using Deep Reinforcement Learning
Jiayu Chen, Chao Yu, Guosheng Li +6
Multi-UAV pursuit-evasion, where pursuers aim to capture evaders, poses a key challenge for UAV swarm intelligence. Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) has demonstrated poten…
