Black-box optimization is a versatile approach to solve complex problems where the objective function is not explicitly known and no higher order information is available. Due to …
Reinforcement learning (RL) is a popular technique that allows an agent to learn by trial and error while interacting with a dynamic environment. The traditional Reinforcement Learning …
Soft robots are increasingly being employed in different fields and various designs are created to satisfy relevant requirements. The wide ranges of design bring challenges to soft …
The framework of sim-to-real learning, ie, training policies in simulation and transferring them to real-world systems, is one of the most promising approaches towards data-efficient …

Reinforcement learning is very much democratized for autonomous control of an unknown dynamics system. However, low data efficiency is a practical concern in physical systems …
One of the most crucial steps toward achieving human-like manipulation skills in robots is to incorporate compliance into the robot controller. Compliance not only makes the robot's …

Completely soft robots are emerging as a compelling new platform for exploring and operating in unstructured, rugged, and dynamic environments. Unfortunately, the very …
In this letter, we investigate learning forward dynamics models and multi-step prediction of state variables (long-term prediction) for contact-rich manipulation. The problems are …
We propose Bayesian Inverse Reinforcement Learning with Failure (BIRLF), which makes use of failed demonstrations that were often ignored or filtered in previous methods due to …
