Online Damage Recovery for Physical Robots with Hierarchical Quality-Diversity

no code implementations18 Oct 2022 Maxime Allard, Simón C. Smith, Konstantinos Chatzilygeroudis, Bryan Lim, Antoine Cully

Quality-Diversity (QD) algorithms have been successfully used to make robots adapt to damages in seconds by leveraging a diverse set of learned skills.

Neuroevolution is a Competitive Alternative to Reinforcement Learning for Skill Discovery

1 code implementation6 Oct 2022 Felix Chalumeau, Raphael Boige, Bryan Lim, Valentin Macé, Maxime Allard, Arthur Flajolet, Antoine Cully, Thomas Pierrot

Recent work has shown that training a mixture of policies, as opposed to a single one, that are driven to explore different regions of the state-action space can address this shortcoming by generating a diverse set of behaviors, referred to as skills, that can be collectively used to great effect in adaptation tasks or for hierarchical planning.

Hierarchical Quality-Diversity for Online Damage Recovery

1 code implementation12 Apr 2022 Maxime Allard, Simón C. Smith, Konstantinos Chatzilygeroudis, Antoine Cully

These adaptation capabilities are directly linked to the behavioural diversity in the repertoire.

Accelerated Quality-Diversity through Massive Parallelism

2 code implementations2 Feb 2022 Bryan Lim, Maxime Allard, Luca Grillotti, Antoine Cully

With recent advances in simulators that run on accelerators, thousands of evaluations can now be performed in parallel on single GPU/TPU.
