Overview

Randomized trial shows improved control policy efficiency in robotic systems, suggesting reliable on-robot learning.

Key Points

  • To develop an online model-based reinforcement learning algorithm for real-world robotic control.
  • Built a dynamics model from real-time interaction data for policy updates.
  • Used online optimization analysis to derive sublinear regret bounds.
  • Conducted experiments on a hydraulic excavator arm and a soft robot arm.
  • The algorithm achieved strong sample efficiency, matching model-free methods within hours.
  • Demonstrated robust adaptation to random changes in payload conditions.
