A Robust Controller based on Gaussian Processes for Robotic Manipulators with Unknown Uncertainty
Giulio Giacomuzzo, Mohamed Abdelwahab, Marco Calì +2
In this paper, we propose a novel learning-based robust feedback linearization strategy to ensure precise trajectory tracking for an important family of Lagrangian systems. We assu…
Finetuning Deep Reinforcement Learning Policies with Evolutionary Strategies for Control of Underactuated Robots
Marco Calì, Alberto Sinigaglia, Niccolò Turcato +2
Deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) has emerged as a powerful method for addressing complex control problems, particularly those involving underactuated robotic systems. However, in s…
Accelerating Model-Based Reinforcement Learning using Non-Linear Trajectory Optimization
Marco Calì, Giulio Giacomuzzo, Ruggero Carli +1
This paper addresses the slow policy optimization convergence of Monte Carlo Probabilistic Inference for Learning Control (MC-PILCO), a state-of-the-art model-based reinforcement l…
Learning global control of underactuated systems with Model-Based Reinforcement Learning
Niccolò Turcato, Marco Calì, Alberto Dalla Libera +3
This short paper describes our proposed solution for the third edition of the "AI Olympics with RealAIGym" competition, held at ICRA 2025. We employed Monte-Carlo Probabilistic Inf…
Reinforcement Learning for Robust Athletic Intelligence: Lessons from the 2nd 'AI Olympics with RealAIGym' Competition
Felix Wiebe, Niccolò Turcato, Alberto Dalla Libera +17
In the field of robotics many different approaches ranging from classical planning over optimal control to reinforcement learning (RL) are developed and borrowed from other fields…
