Active Exploration in Bayesian Model-based Reinforcement Learning for Robot Manipulation

The paper presents a Bayesian deep learning approach for active exploration in model-based reinforcement learning applied to robot manipulation. By improving model calibration and actively selecting transitions that maximize information gain, the method enhances data efficiency during a preliminary exploration phase. Experiments on a realistic robotic arm simulator demonstrate that the approach achieves comparable performance to existing methods while requiring significantly fewer robot executions.
