Abstract: Industrial robotics demands significant energy to operate, making energy-reduction methodologies increasingly important. Strategies for planning minimum-energy trajectories typically involve solving nonlinear optimal control problems (OCPs), which rarely cope with real-time (RT) requirements. In this article, we propose a paradigm for generating near … [Read more...] about Real-Time Generation of Near Minimum-Energy Trajectories via Constraint-Informed Residual Learning: A Paradigm for Learning From Optimal Solutions

Tumbling Robot Control Using Reinforcement Learning: An Adaptive Control Policy That Transfers Well to the Real World
Tumbling robots are simple platforms that are able to traverse large obstacles relative to their size, at the cost of being difficult to control. Existing control methods apply only a subset of possible robot motions and make the assumption of flat terrain. Reinforcement learning (RL) allows for the development of sophisticated control schemes that can adapt to diverse … [Read more...] about Tumbling Robot Control Using Reinforcement Learning: An Adaptive Control Policy That Transfers Well to the Real World
