Monte Carlo Tree Search with Boltzmann Exploration

2 code implementations NeurIPS 2023 Michael Painter, Mohamed Baioumy, Nick Hawes, Bruno Lacerda

Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) methods, such as Upper Confidence Bound applied to Trees (UCT), are instrumental to automated planning techniques.

A Framework for Learning from Demonstration with Minimal Human Effort

1 code implementation15 Jun 2023 Marc Rigter, Bruno Lacerda, Nick Hawes

In this setting we address reinforcement learning, and learning from demonstration, where there is a cost associated with human time.

Formal Modelling for Multi-Robot Systems Under Uncertainty

no code implementations26 May 2023 Charlie Street, Masoumeh Mansouri, Bruno Lacerda

Purpose of Review: To effectively synthesise and analyse multi-robot behaviour, we require formal task-level models which accurately capture multi-robot execution.

RAMBO-RL: Robust Adversarial Model-Based Offline Reinforcement Learning

2 code implementations26 Apr 2022 Marc Rigter, Bruno Lacerda, Nick Hawes

Model-based algorithms, which learn a model of the environment from the dataset and perform conservative policy optimisation within that model, have emerged as a promising approach to this problem.

Planning for Risk-Aversion and Expected Value in MDPs

1 code implementation25 Oct 2021 Marc Rigter, Paul Duckworth, Bruno Lacerda, Nick Hawes

This motivates us to propose a lexicographic approach which minimises the expected cost subject to the constraint that the CVaR of the total cost is optimal.

On Solving a Stochastic Shortest-Path Markov Decision Process as Probabilistic Inference

no code implementations13 Sep 2021 Mohamed Baioumy, Bruno Lacerda, Paul Duckworth, Nick Hawes

Previous work on planning as active inference addresses finite horizon problems and solutions valid for online planning.

Minimax Regret Optimisation for Robust Planning in Uncertain Markov Decision Processes

no code implementations8 Dec 2020 Marc Rigter, Bruno Lacerda, Nick Hawes

We propose a dynamic programming algorithm that utilises the regret Bellman equation, and show that it optimises minimax regret exactly for UMDPs with independent uncertainties.

Active Inference for Integrated State-Estimation, Control, and Learning

1 code implementation12 May 2020 Mohamed Baioumy, Paul Duckworth, Bruno Lacerda, Nick Hawes

This work presents an approach for control, state-estimation and learning model (hyper)parameters for robotic manipulators.

Simultaneous Task Allocation and Planning Under Uncertainty

no code implementations7 Mar 2018 Fatma Faruq, Bruno Lacerda, Nick Hawes, David Parker

We propose novel techniques for task allocation and planning in multi-robot systems operating in uncertain environments.
