Preference-based Reinforcement Learning (PbRL) enables policy learning through simple queries comparing trajectories from a single policy, yet suffers from low query efficiency as policy bias limits trajectory diversity and reduces discriminable queries for learning human preferences. This paper ide…
In earthwork and construction, excavators often encounter large rocks mixed with various soil conditions, requiring skilled operators. This paper presents a framework for achieving autonomous excavation using reinforcement learning (RL) through a rock excavation simulator. In the simulation, resolut…
As home robotics gains traction, robots are increasingly integrated into households, offering companionship and assistance. Quadruped robots, particularly those resembling dogs, have emerged as popular alternatives for traditional pets. However, user feedback highlights concerns about the noise thes
This study focuses on a robotic powder weighing task used in laboratory automation. In this task, a robot weighs a certain amount of powder with a milligram-level target mass using a dispensing spoon. The complex dynamics of the powder, the variations in the materials being weighed, and the need to…
This letter explores a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) approach for designing image-based control for edge robots to be implemented on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Although FPGAs are more power-efficient than CPUs and GPUs, a typical DRL method cannot be applied since they are composed
