arXiv:2606. 09236v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous Racing has seen remarkable progress through deep Reinforcement Learning (RL), primarily for four-wheeled vehicles.
arXiv:2605. 22748v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Autonomous systems have achieved superhuman performance in isolation or simulation, yet they remain brittle in shared, dynamic real-world spaces.
arXiv:2602. 07339v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion-based trajectory planners can model multi-modal driving behavior, but their iterative denoising process introduces a latency bottleneck for real-time closed-loop deployment.
arXiv:2605. 22305v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We analytically solve the Mountain Car problem, a canonical benchmark in RL, and derive an optimal control solution, closing a gap after 36 years.
arXiv:2607. 02431v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) can overcome the demonstration-coverage limitation of imitation learning (IL) by allowing robots to improve through trial-and-error interaction beyond the states observed in demonstrations.
arXiv:2608. 08545v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robust navigation policies for autonomous agents must generalize across continuously varying environmental conditions such as turn rates, obstacles, friction, pits, and slopes.
arXiv:2604. 03497v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-language-model (VLM)-guided reinforcement learning (RL) has recently attracted significant attention for it, replacing brittle hand-crafted rewards with semantically grounded signals; however, deploying such simulation-trained policies on real vehicles remains a fundamental challenge, because they rely on simulator-native observations and simulator-coupled action semantics with no counterpart on physical hardware.
arXiv:2607. 00642v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning has proven to be a valuable tool in the creation of advanced AI and robotic systems, contributing to everything from game playing to robotics to foundation models.
arXiv:2512. 00062v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Robotic policy learning for complex real-world manipulation tasks has seen rapid recent progress, enabled in large part by the ability to collect demonstrations through human operation.
arXiv:2606. 30537v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous driving policies should be able to improve continually as deployment exposes them to increasingly diverse and long-tail traffic situations.
arXiv:2608. 07870v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Improving sample efficiency remains a core challenge in reinforcement learning (RL), especially in real-world settings like robotics, where data collection is costly.
arXiv:2608. 12063v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Integrating locomotion and manipulation is essential for robot autonomy, but scaling standard Reinforcement Learning (RL) to complex tasks is severely bottlenecked by the slow, manual process of dense reward shaping.
arXiv:2603. 05995v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Off-road autonomous driving poses significant challenges such as navigating unmapped, variable terrain with uncertain and diverse dynamics.
