Unsupervised Learning and Exploration of Reachable Outcome Space

ICRA 2020poster

Performing Reinforcement Learning in sparse rewards settings, with very little prior knowledge, is a challenging problem since there is no signal to properly guide the learning process. In such situations, a good search strategy is fundamental. At the same time, not having to adapt the algorithm to…

Unsupervised Emergence of Egocentric Spatial Structure from Sensorimotor Prediction

NeurIPS 2019poster

Despite its omnipresence in robotics application, the nature of spatial knowledge and the mechanisms that underlie its emergence in autonomous agents are still poorly understood. Recent theoretical works suggest that the Euclidean structure of space induces invariants in an agent’s raw sensorimotor…

Online Learning of Body Orientation Control on a Humanoid Robot Using Finite Element Goal Babbling

IROS 2018poster

How can high dimensional robots learn general sets of skills from experience in the real world? Many previous approaches focus on maximizing a single utility function and require large datasets of experience to do this, something that is not possible to collect outside of simulation as every data po…
