GRAM: Generalization in Deep RL With a Robust Adaptation Module

RA-L 2026

The reliable deployment of deep reinforcement learning in real-world settings requires the ability to generalize across a variety of conditions, including both in-distribution scenarios seen during training as well as novel out-of-distribution scenarios. In this work, we present a framework for dyna

PIETRA: Physics-Informed Evidential Learning for Traversing Out-of-Distribution Terrain

RA-L 2025

Self-supervised learning is a powerful approach for developing traversability models for off-road navigation, but these models often struggle with inputs unseen during training. Existing methods utilize techniques like evidential deep learning to quantify model uncertainty, helping to identify and a

Visually Robust Adversarial Imitation Learning from Videos with Contrastive Learning

ICRA 2025

We propose C-LAIfO, a computationally efficient algorithm designed for imitation learning from videos in the presence of visual mismatch between agent and expert domains. We analyze the problem of imitation from expert videos with visual discrepancies, and introduce a solution for robust latent spac

Risk-Averse Model Uncertainty for Distributionally Robust Safe Reinforcement Learning

NeurIPS 2023poster

Many real-world domains require safe decision making in uncertain environments. In this work, we introduce a deep reinforcement learning framework for approaching this important problem. We consider a distribution over transition models, and apply a risk-averse perspective towards model uncertainty…

Generalized Proximal Policy Optimization with Sample Reuse

NeurIPS 2021poster

In real-world decision making tasks, it is critical for data-driven reinforcement learning methods to be both stable and sample efficient. On-policy methods typically generate reliable policy improvement throughout training, while off-policy methods make more efficient use of data through sample reu…

Uncertainty-Aware Policy Optimization: A Robust, Adaptive Trust Region Approach

AAAI 2021technical

In order for reinforcement learning techniques to be useful in real-world decision making processes, they must be able to produce robust performance from limited data. Deep policy optimization methods have achieved impressive results on complex tasks, but their real-world adoption remains limited be…
