Episode: How to prevent the robot uprising - an introduction to MPC based safe reinforcement learning (mrmcd25)
Description: Machine learning in safety critical systems can be... ~a very dumb idea~ a challenge. In this talk I want to introduce a recent framework for a robust safety system for reinforcement learning in safety critical systems based on Model Predictive Control.
In short: How to train a system without blowing up the building in the process
Model Predictive Control is a recent compute heavy control strategy for autonomous systems. I want to explore its applications to reinforcement learning. A mathematical model of both the enviroment and the system-in-training acts as a supervisor during the training and provides mathematical...
