Learning to learn from simulation: Using simulations to learn faster on robots
NSH 4305Abstract: Learning for control is capable of acquiring controllers in novel task scenarios, paving the path to autonomous robots. However, typical learning approaches can be prohibitively expensive in terms of robot experiments, and policies learned in simulation do not transfer directly due to modelling inaccuracies. This encourages learning information from simulation that has a higher [...]
Bipolar Robotics – From the Arctic to the Antarctic with a stop for Fisheries in the middle latitudes.
1305 Newell Simon HallAbstract: The Arctic, Antarctic and Greenland remain some of the least explored parts of the planet. This talk looks at efforts over the last decade to explore areas under-ice which have traditionally been difficult to access. The focus of the talk will be on the robots, the role of communications over low bandwidth acoustic links, [...]
