Reinforcement Learning methods for controlling stochastic processes typically assume a small and discrete action space. While continuous action spaces are quite common in real-wor...
This paper describes the control of a human-like robotic neck actuated with tendons. The controller regulates the length of the tendons to achieve a desired orientation of the neck...

We present a new family of subgradient methods that dynamically incorporate knowledge of the geometry of the data observed in earlier iterations to perform more informative gradie...
Reinforcement learning algorithms that employ neural networks as function approximators have proven to be powerful tools for solving optimal control problems. However, their traini...
Abstract-- Local convergence is a limitation of many optimization approaches for multimodal functions. For hybrid model learning, this can mean a compromise in accuracy. We develop...
