arXiv:2606. 25680v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Underwater vehicles operate from a fixed onboard energy budget that propulsion rapidly depletes, so a controller that completes its task while drawing less thruster power directly extends mission range and endurance.
arXiv:2606. 08513v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) traditionally rely on complex, heavily engineered pipelines for perception, path planning, and motion control.
arXiv:2604. 12645v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Although autonomous underwater vehicles promise the capability of marine ecosystem monitoring, their deployment is fundamentally limited by the difficulty of controlling vehicles under highly uncertain and non-stationary underwater dynamics.
arXiv:2608. 14332v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning is promising for autonomous urban driving, but long-horizon goal-directed navigation asks a policy to acquire several competing behaviors at once--reaching a distant goal, tracking a route, avoiding obstacles, obeying signals--and a fixed objective gives no order in which to learn them.
arXiv:2607. 02741v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper develops an Optimality-Informed Neural Network (OINN) approach for the energy-optimal, free-final-time powered descent of a lunar lander from any initial position, velocity, and mass within a bounded operating envelope to a fixed landing site with zero terminal velocity.
arXiv:2505. 08222v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Autonomous vehicles (AVs) offer a cost-effective solution for scientific missions such as underwater tracking.
arXiv:2603. 29426v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) provides a promising solution for cooperative target tracking in networks of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs).
arXiv:2605. 30612v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Continuous control policies trained with off-policy reinforcement learning frequently exhibit high-frequency action jitter, impractical for direct deployment on physical actuators.
arXiv:2608. 12436v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-AUV ad-hoc network-based target tracking requires networked autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to cooperatively track maneuvering targets under constrained acoustic communication, dynamic topology, and uncertain ocean disturbances.
arXiv:2607. 16313v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Traditional controllers are designed for specific systems and do not transfer across different system orders and dynamics.
arXiv:2605. 30719v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study when large language models (LLMs) can serve as effective black-box policy optimizers for reinforcement learning (RL) tasks, i.
arXiv:2606. 31291v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep reinforcement learning has the potential to solve attitude control problems more adaptively, precisely, and robustly by handling nonlinear dynamics, uncertainties, and failure cases more effectively than traditional attitude control approaches.
arXiv:2608. 09453v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On--off cycling is the main cause of compressor wear in residential heat pumps, yet reinforcement learning (RL) controllers for buildings typically optimise only energy cost and thermal comfort, ignoring how much the learned policy cycles.
