— Our goal in this work is to make high level decisions for mobile robots. In particular, given a queue of prioritized object delivery tasks, we wish to find a sequence of actio...
Both genetic algorithms (GAs) and temporal difference (TD) methods have proven effective at solving reinforcement learning (RL) problems. However, since few rigorous empirical com...
The full deployment of service robots in daily activities will require the robot to adapt to the needs of non-expert users, particularly, to learn how to perform new tasks from “...

Q-learning, a most widely used reinforcement learning method, normally needs well-defined quantized state and action spaces to converge. This makes it difficult to be applied to re...
Grasping an object is a task that inherently needs to be treated in a hybrid fashion. The system must decide both where and how to grasp the object. While selecting where to grasp...
