Of Mice and Machines: A Comparison of Learning Between Real World Mice and RL Agents
Shuo Han, German Espinosa, Junda Huang +3
Recent advances in reinforcement learning (RL) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in complex decision-making tasks. This progress raises a natural question: how do these art…
Achieving mouse-level strategic evasion performance using real-time computational planning
German Espinosa, Gabrielle E. Wink, Alexander T. Lai +2
Planning is an extraordinary ability in which the brain imagines and then enacts evaluated possible futures. Using traditional planning models, computer scientists have attempted t…
Feedback Synthesis For Underactuated Systems Using Sequential Second-Order Needle Variations
Giorgos Mamakoukas, Malcolm A. MacIver, Todd D. Murphey
This paper derives nonlinear feedback control synthesis for general control affine systems using second-order actions---the second-order needle variations of optimal control---as t…
Feedback Synthesis for Controllable Underactuated Systems using Sequential Second Order Actions
Giorgos Mamakoukas, Malcolm A. MacIver, Todd D. Murphey
This paper derives nonlinear feedback control synthesis for general control affine systems using second-order actions---the needle variations of optimal control---as the basis for…
Ergodic Exploration of Distributed Information
Lauren M. Miller, Yonatan Silverman, Malcolm A. MacIver +1
This paper presents an active search trajectory synthesis technique for autonomous mobile robots with nonlinear measurements and dynamics. The presented approach uses the ergodicit…
Separability of drag and thrust in undulatory animals and machines
Rahul Bale, Anup A. Shirgaonkar, Izaak D. Neveln +3
For nearly a century, researchers have tried to understand the swimming of aquatic animals in terms of a balance between the forward thrust from swimming movements and drag on the…
