Accelerating Proximal Policy Optimization Learning Using Task Prediction for Solving Environments with Delayed Rewards
Ahmad Ahmad, Mehdi Kermanshah, Kevin Leahy +6
In this paper, we tackle the challenging problem of delayed rewards in reinforcement learning (RL). While Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) has emerged as a leading Policy Gradien…
Model Predictive Control for Magnetically-Actuated Cellbots
Mehdi Kermanshah, Logan E. Beaver, Max Sokolich +5
This paper presents a control framework for magnetically actuated cellbots, which combines Model Predictive Control (MPC) with Gaussian Processes (GPs) as a disturbance estimator f…
Designing Robust Linear Output Feedback Controller based on CLF-CBF framework via Linear~Programming(LP-CLF-CBF)
Mahroo Bahreinian, Mehdi Kermanshah, Roberto Tron
We consider the problem of designing output feedback controllers that use measurements from a set of landmarks to navigate through a cell-decomposable environment using duality, Co…
Control-Based Planning over Probability Mass Function Measurements via Robust Linear Programming
Mehdi Kermanshah, Calin Belta, Roberto Tron
We propose an approach to synthesize linear feedback controllers for linear systems in polygonal environments. Our method focuses on designing a robust controller that can account…
