Weak Human Preference Supervision for Deep Reinforcement Learning.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems Nov 30, 2021
The current reward learning from human preferences could be used to resolve complex reinforcement learning (RL) tasks without access to a reward function by defining a single fixed preference between pairs of trajectory segments. However, the judgmen...

Terrain Adaptability and Optimum Contact Stiffness of Vibro-bot with Arrayed Soft Legs.

Soft robotics Nov 25, 2021
The terrain adaptability of the state-of-the-art robot is far behind natural animals, partly because of limited sensing, intelligence, controlling, and actuating ability. One possible solution is to explore the flexible locomotion structure and locom...

Locomotion Control With Frequency and Motor Pattern Adaptations.

Frontiers in neural circuits Nov 25, 2021
Existing adaptive locomotion control mechanisms for legged robots are usually aimed at one specific type of adaptation and rarely combined with others. Adaptive mechanisms thus stay at a conceptual level without their coupling effect with other mecha...
