Prompted Policy Search: Reinforcement Learning through Linguistic and Numerical Reasoning in LLMs

NeurIPS 2025poster

Reinforcement Learning (RL) traditionally relies on scalar reward signals, limiting its ability to leverage the rich semantic knowledge often available in real-world tasks. In contrast, humans learn efficiently by combining numerical feedback with language, prior knowledge, and common sense. We intr…

iRoCo: Intuitive Robot Control From Anywhere Using a Smartwatch

ICRA 2024poster

This paper introduces iRoCo (intuitive Robot Control) – a framework for ubiquitous human-robot collaboration using a single smartwatch and smartphone. By integrating probabilistic differentiable filters, iRoCo optimizes a combination of precise robot control and unrestricted user movement from ubiqu…

Deep Reinforcement Learning with Population-Coded Spiking Neural Network for Continuous Control

CoRL 2020

The energy-efficient control of mobile robots has become crucial as the complexity of their real-world applications increasingly involves high-dimensional observation and action spaces, which cannot be offset by their limited on-board resources. An emerging non-Von Neumann model of intelligence, whe

Reinforcement co-Learning of Deep and Spiking Neural Networks for Energy-Efficient Mapless Navigation with Neuromorphic Hardware

IROS 2020poster

Energy-efficient mapless navigation is crucial for mobile robots as they explore unknown environments with limited on-board resources. Although the recent deep rein-forcement learning (DRL) approaches have been successfully applied to navigation, their high energy consumption limits their use in sev…
