search Topic: Reinforcement Learning for Autonomous Systems in Dynamic

Environments:

The deployment of autonomous systems, such as self-driving cars and robotic agents,
in real-world environments introduces unique challenges related to adaptability and
decision-making in dynamic and unpredictable scenarios. This research focuses on
advancing the capabilities of reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms to address these
challenges.

Objectives:

1. Dynamic Environment Modeling:

 Develop techniques for creating accurate and responsive models of
dynamic environments. This includes investigating methods for real-
time perception, understanding the dynamics of surrounding entities,
and predicting changes in the environment.
2. Adaptive Reinforcement Learning Algorithms:
 Explore novel RL algorithms that can adapt to changes in the
environment over time. This involves developing approaches that allow
autonomous systems to continuously learn and update their policies in
response to evolving conditions.
3. Transfer Learning for Continual Adaptation:
 Investigate how transfer learning can be applied in reinforcement
learning to facilitate continual adaptation. Explore methods to transfer
knowledge gained in one set of conditions to improve performance in
new and unseen scenarios.
4. Safety and Risk-Aware Decision-Making:
 Address the challenges of ensuring safety in dynamic environments.
Research methods for incorporating risk-aware decision-making into RL
algorithms, enabling autonomous systems to make informed choices in
situations with uncertain outcomes.
5. Real-World Validation and Benchmarking:
 Validate the proposed RL algorithms in real-world scenarios, such as
urban driving or complex robotic tasks. Develop benchmarks and
metrics to assess the performance of autonomous systems in dynamic
environments and compare different RL approaches.
