Model-Based Reinforcement Learning for Control under Time-Varying Dynamics
Klemens Iten, Bruce Lee, Chenhao Li +3
Learning-based control methods typically assume stationary system dynamics, an assumption often violated in real-world systems due to drift, wear, or changing operating conditions.…
Sample-efficient and Scalable Exploration in Continuous-Time RL
Klemens Iten, Lenart Treven, Bhavya Sukhija +2
Reinforcement learning algorithms are typically designed for discrete-time dynamics, even though the underlying real-world control systems are often continuous in time. In this pap…
SOMBRL: Scalable and Optimistic Model-Based RL
Bhavya Sukhija, Lenart Treven, Carmelo Sferrazza +3
We address the challenge of efficient exploration in model-based reinforcement learning (MBRL), where the system dynamics are unknown and the RL agent must learn directly from onli…
Learning Soft Robotic Dynamics with Active Exploration
Hehui Zheng, Bhavya Sukhija, Chenhao Li +3
Soft robots offer unmatched adaptability and safety in unstructured environments, yet their compliant, high-dimensional, and nonlinear dynamics make modeling for control notoriousl…
Simulation Priors for Data-Efficient Deep Learning
Lenart Treven, Bhavya Sukhija, Jonas Rothfuss +3
How do we enable AI systems to efficiently learn in the real-world? First-principles models are widely used to simulate natural systems, but often fail to capture real-world comple…
MaxInfoRL: Boosting exploration in reinforcement learning through information gain maximization
Bhavya Sukhija, Stelian Coros, Andreas Krause +2
Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms aim to balance exploiting the current best strategy with exploring new options that could lead to higher rewards. Most common RL algorithms u…
