Model-based and model-free reinforcement learning for visual servoing
— To address the difficulty of designing a controller for complex visual-servoing tasks, two learning-based uncalibrated approaches are introduced. The first method starts by b...

Derivative estimation with known control-variate variances
We investigate the conception that the sample variance of the control variate (CV) should be used for estimating the optimal linear CV weight, even when the CV variance is known. ...
