Fast Estimation of Globally Optimal Independent Contact Regions for Robust Grasping and Manipulation
Jonathan P. King, Harnoor Ahluwalia, Michael Zhang +1
This work presents a fast anytime algorithm for computing globally optimal independent contact regions (ICRs). ICRs are regions such that one contact within each region enables a v…
Reinforcement Mechanism Design, with Applications to Dynamic Pricing in Sponsored Search Auctions
Weiran Shen, Binghui Peng, Hanpeng Liu +7
In this study, we apply reinforcement learning techniques and propose what we call reinforcement mechanism design to tackle the dynamic pricing problem in sponsored search auctions…
Reverse Curriculum Generation for Reinforcement Learning
Carlos Florensa, David Held, Markus Wulfmeier +2
Many relevant tasks require an agent to reach a certain state, or to manipulate objects into a desired configuration. For example, we might want a robot to align and assemble a gea…
Probabilistically Safe Policy Transfer
David Held, Zoe McCarthy, Michael Zhang +2
Although learning-based methods have great potential for robotics, one concern is that a robot that updates its parameters might cause large amounts of damage before it learns the…
