EMVLight: A Decentralized Reinforcement Learning Framework for Efficient Passage of Emergency Vehicles

AAAI 2022technical

Emergency vehicles (EMVs) play a crucial role in responding to time-critical events such as medical emergencies and fire outbreaks in an urban area. The less time EMVs spend traveling through the traffic, the more likely it would help save people's lives and reduce property loss. To reduce the trave…

Extending Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Neural Networks with Differentiable Contact Models

NeurIPS 2021poster

The incorporation of appropriate inductive bias plays a critical role in learning dynamics from data. A growing body of work has been exploring ways to enforce energy conservation in the learned dynamics by encoding Lagrangian or Hamiltonian dynamics into the neural network architecture. These exist…

Multi-Robot Task Allocation Games in Dynamically Changing Environments

ICRA 2021poster

We propose a game-theoretic multi-robot task allocation framework that enables a large team of robots to optimally allocate tasks in dynamically changing environments. As our main contribution, we design a decision-making algorithm that defines how the robots select tasks to perform and how they rep…

Symplectic ODE-Net: Learning Hamiltonian Dynamics with Control

ICLR 2020poster

In this paper, we introduce Symplectic ODE-Net (SymODEN), a deep learning framework which can infer the dynamics of a physical system, given by an ordinary differential equation (ODE), from observed state trajectories. To achieve better generalization with fewer training samples, SymODEN incorporate…

Unsupervised Learning of Lagrangian Dynamics from Images for Prediction and Control

NeurIPS 2020poster

Recent approaches for modelling dynamics of physical systems with neural networks enforce Lagrangian or Hamiltonian structure to improve prediction and generalization. However, when coordinates are embedded in high-dimensional data such as images, these approaches either lose interpretability or can…
