Topic: Motion Planning in Robotics by Using Reinforcement Learning with LTL Constraints

Abstract: High-level robotics motion planning requires the robot to accomplish complex tasks instead of simple go-to-goal navigations. This seminar presents a research topic of motion planning in robotics via the integration of reinforcement learning (RL) and linear temporal logics (LTL). The framework consists of a Markov decision process (MDP)...
