Hybrid Neural Network and Conventional Controller Approach for Robust Control of Highly Unstable Systems: Application to Tilt-Rotor Control

arXiv:2606. 08714v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multirotors are widely used in applications ranging from surveillance to precision agriculture, yet conventional designs remain limited by their under-actuation.

Wind-Aware Reinforcement Learning Control of a Small Quadrotor Using Learned Onboard Wind Estimation in Simulated Atmospheric Turbulence

arXiv:2607. 01528v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Small multirotor aircraft are increasingly tasked with operations in the atmospheric boundary layer, where turbulent winds comparable to the vehicle's airspeed degrade trajectory tracking and can defeat conventional feedback control.

NeuralActuator: Neural Actuation Modeling for Robot Dynamics and External Force Perception

arXiv:2607. 11734v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Differentiable simulators have advanced policy learning and model-based control, yet actuator dynamics remain an important source of sim-to-real error.

Agile Reinforcement Learning through Separable Neural Architecture and Applications

arXiv:2601. 23225v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep reinforcement learning (RL) is increasingly deployed in resource-constrained environments, yet go-to function approximators - multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) - are often parameter-inefficient due to an imperfect inductive bias for the smooth structure of many value functions.

History-informed Lagrangian Neural Networks

arXiv:2608. 13215v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Forecasting the long-horizon evolution of mechanical systems from position-only observations is a pivotal yet difficult task, as hidden velocities and trajectory-specific physical properties must be inferred simultaneously.
