A Unified Dynamics Framework for Reinforcement Learning and Classical Control of a Six-DOF Pipeline-Tracking ROV in NVIDIA Isaac Sim
Cheng Siong Chin, M. Venkateshkumar, Jianhua Zhang
Reinforcement learning controllers for underwater vehicles are usually trained against one physics representation and deployed against another, so reported performance does not alw…
Computing at Sea: Floating and Offshore Data Centres as a Pathway to Sustainable AI Infrastructure
Cheng Siong Chin, Jianhua Zhang, M. Venkateshkumar
The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence is transforming data centres into one of the world's fastest-growing sources of electricity demand. As AI systems scale in size and c…
The Logic of Machine Self-Preservation
Cheng Siong Chin
There is already evidence of agentic AI exhibiting self-preservation behaviors: resisting deactivation, misrepresenting their activities, and, in some instances, attempting to copy…
Machines that know they are aging: a framework for hardware-aware autonomous intelligence
Cheng Siong Chin, Jianhua Zhang, Mohan Venkateshkumar
Autonomous systems inevitably age, yet their artificial intelligence typically assumes hardware remains in its original condition. Batteries degrade, sensors drift, processors accu…
