A Convergent Reinforcement Learning Algorithm in the Continuous Case: The Finite-Element Reinforcement Learning
This paper presents a direct reinforcement learning algorithm, called Finite-Element Reinforcement Learning, in the continuous case, i.e. continuous state-space and time. The eval...

Globally Convergent Autocalibration
Existing autocalibration techniques use numerical optimization algorithms that are prone to the problem of local minima. To address this problem, we have developed a method where ...

Optimal Trajectory Generation for Manipulator Robots under Thermal Constraints
We propose here to deal with the optimization of velocity profiles of manipulator robots with a minimum time criterion subject to thermal constraints. This paper deals with the r...
