Near-Optimal Policy Identification in Robust Constrained Markov Decision Processes via Epigraph Form
Toshinori Kitamura, Tadashi Kozuno, Wataru Kumagai +6
Designing a safe policy for uncertain environments is crucial in real-world control systems. However, this challenge remains inadequately addressed within the Markov decision proce…
Provably Efficient RL under Episode-Wise Safety in Constrained MDPs with Linear Function Approximation
Toshinori Kitamura, Arnob Ghosh, Tadashi Kozuno +5
We study the reinforcement learning (RL) problem in a constrained Markov decision process (CMDP), where an agent explores the environment to maximize the expected cumulative reward…
A Policy Gradient Primal-Dual Algorithm for Constrained MDPs with Uniform PAC Guarantees
Toshinori Kitamura, Tadashi Kozuno, Masahiro Kato +6
We study a primal-dual (PD) reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm for online constrained Markov decision processes (CMDPs). Despite its widespread practical use, the existing theor…
Symmetry-aware Reinforcement Learning for Robotic Assembly under Partial Observability with a Soft Wrist
Hai Nguyen, Tadashi Kozuno, Cristian C. Beltran-Hernandez +1
This study tackles the representative yet challenging contact-rich peg-in-hole task of robotic assembly, using a soft wrist that can operate more safely and tolerate lower-frequenc…
