Designing a safe policy for uncertain environments is crucial in real-world control systems. However, this challenge remains inadequately addressed within the Markov decision process (MDP) framework. This paper presents the first algorithm guaranteed to identify a near-optimal policy in a robust con…
We study the reinforcement learning (RL) problem in a constrained Markov decision process (CMDP), where an agent explores the environment to maximize the expected cumulative reward while satisfying a single constraint on the expected total utility value in every episode. While this problem is well u…
This study presents a benchmark for evaluating action-constrained reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms. In action-constrained RL, each action taken by the learning system must comply with certain constraints. These constraints are crucial for ensuring the feasibility and safety of actions in real-
Multi-agent path planning (MAPP) is the problem of planning collision-free trajectories from start to goal locations for a team of agents. This work explores a relatively unexplored setting of MAPP where streams of agents have to go through the starts and goals with high throughput. We tackle this p…
We address a challenging multi-agent pathfinding (MAPF) problem for hundreds of agents moving on a 2D roadmap with continuous time. Despite its known potential for producing better solutions compared to typical grid and discrete-time cases, few approaches have been established to solve this problem
Factory automation robot systems often depend on specially-made jigs that precisely position each part, which increases the system's cost and limits flexibility. We propose a method to determine the 3D pose of an object with high precision and confidence, using only parallel robotic grippers and no
