Hi-Val: Iterative Learning of Hierarchical Value Functions for Policy Generation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Task decomposition is effective in manifold applications where the global complexity of a problem makes planning and decision-making too demanding. This is true, for example, in high-dimensional robotics domains, where (1) unpredictabilities and modeling

An evolutionary approach for the motion planning of redundant and hyper-redundant manipulators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The trajectory planning of redundant robots is an important area of research and efficient optimization algorithms are needed. The pseudoinverse control is not repeatable, causing drift in joint space which is undesirable for physical control. This paper
