Learning with Training Wheels: Speeding up Training with a Simple Controller for Deep Reinforcement Learning
Linhai Xie, Sen Wang, Stefano Rosa +2
Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has been applied successfully to many robotic applications. However, the large number of trials needed for training is a key issue. Most of existi…
Learning with Stochastic Guidance for Navigation
Linhai Xie, Yishu Miao, Sen Wang +5
Due to the sparse rewards and high degree of environment variation, reinforcement learning approaches such as Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) are plagued by issues of hig…
Defo-Net: Learning Body Deformation using Generative Adversarial Networks
Zhihua Wang, Stefano Rosa, Linhai Xie +4
Modelling the physical properties of everyday objects is a fundamental prerequisite for autonomous robots. We present a novel generative adversarial network (Defo-Net), able to pre…
Towards Monocular Vision based Obstacle Avoidance through Deep Reinforcement Learning
Linhai Xie, Sen Wang, Andrew Markham +1
Obstacle avoidance is a fundamental requirement for autonomous robots which operate in, and interact with, the real world. When perception is limited to monocular vision avoiding c…
