Control Strategy for Multi-Agent Systems
I am working on a smart grid system which can be modeled with multiple agents interacting with each other.
The agents are physically coupled with non-linearities, the action of one agent has a direct ...

How do self-driving cars perform lane changes?
I am a bit stuck trying to understand how a lane change is performed from an operational point of view.
Let's assume a self-driving car uses an occupancy grid map for local planning, this map may even ...

Are there examples of neural networks (used for control) implemented on a FPGA or on a neurochip?
Greetings to all respected colleagues!
I want to consult on the use of FPGAs and neurochips. I plan to use it in my laboratory project for programming control systems on neural networks.
In my work,...

How to deal with approximate states when doing path planning?
If one is interested in implementing a path planning algorithm that is grid-based, one needs to consider the fact that your grid points will never represent the true state of the robot.
How is this ...

Solving the dead time problem for control using reinforcement learning
There are several occasion that reinforcement learning can be used as a control mean.
The action is for example the set target temperature (which in many occasions change with time) and the state is ...

Is there any difference between a control and an action in reinforcement learning?
There are reinforcement learning papers (e.g. Metacontrol for Adaptive Imagination-Based Optimization) that use (apparently, interchangeably) the term control or action to refer to the effect of the ...

When should I use Reinforcement Learning vs PID Control?
When designing solutions to problems such as the Lunar Lander on OpenAIGym, Reinforcement Learning is a tempting means of giving the agent adequate action control so as to successfully land.
But ...
