Vision-based navigation and obstacle avoidance via deep reinforcement learning
Paul Blum, Peter Crowley, George Lykotrafitis
Development of navigation algorithms is essential for the successful deployment of robots in rapidly changing hazardous environments for which prior knowledge of configuration is o…
Deep reinforcement learning with a particle dynamics environment applied to emergency evacuation of a room with obstacles
Yihao Zhang, Zhaojie Chai, George Lykotrafitis
A very successful model for simulating emergency evacuation is the social-force model. At the heart of the model is the self-driven force that is applied to an agent and is directe…
A deep reinforcement learning model based on deterministic policy gradient for collective neural crest cell migration
Yihao Zhang, Zhaojie Chai, Yubing Sun +1
Modeling cell interactions such as co-attraction and contact-inhibition of locomotion is essential for understanding collective cell migration. Here, we propose a novel deep reinfo…
Modeling Biological Membrane and Red Blood Cells by Coarse- Grained Particle Method
He Li, Hung-yu Chang, Jun Yang +2
In this work, we review previously developed coarse-grained (CG) particle models for biological membrane and red blood cells (RBCs) and discuss the advantages of the CG particle me…
Frictional sliding modes along an interface between identical elastic plates subject to shear impact loading
D. Coker, G. Lykotrafitis, A. Needleman +1
Frictional sliding along an interface between two identical isotropic elastic plates under impact shear loading is investigated experimentally and numerically. The plates are held…
