Full textMotion planning is able to solve robotics problems much quicker than any reinforcement learning algorithm by efficiently searching for a viable trajectory. Indeed, while the main object of interest in the field of Reinforcement Learning is the behavior of an agent, Motion Planning is concerned with the geometry and properties of the state-space, and uses a different set of primitives to achieve more efficient exploration. Some of these primitives require a model of the system and are not studied in this work, others such as reset-anywhere are only available in simulated environments. In contrast, Motion Planning approaches do not benefit from the same generalization properties as the policies produced by reinforcement learning. In this thesis, we study the ways in which techniques inspired from motion planning can speed up the solving of hard exploration problems for reinforcement learning without sacrificing the advantages of model-free learning and generalization. We identify a deadlock that can occur when applying reinforcement learning to seemingly-trivial sparse-reward problems, and contribute an exploration algorithm inspired by motion planning but specifically designed for reinforcement learning environments, as well as a framework to use the collected data to train a reinforcement learning algorithm in previously-intractable scenarios

Full textMobile robots are increasingly being deployed across different domains. These robots find applications in domestic settings, as well as in agriculture, where they enable precision farming, and logistics, ensuring the efficient transportation of materials and goods. Moreover, they play crucial roles carrying out a wide range of challenging tasks that would be too dangerous or difficult for humans, being pivotal in area-covering missions.Area-covering missions refer to tasks where the primary objective is to systematically traverse and explore a defined area, leaving no region unexamined. Additionally, they are often undertaken in environments that pose significant risks to human operators, such as minefields or disaster-stricken areas. In this context, examples of safety-critical area-covering missions are Mine Countermeasure (MCM) missions and Search and Rescue (SAR) operations.Accurate knowledge of the area explored by a mobile robot is crucial for assessing the completeness of these missions. Some applications might also require the robot to revisit an area of interest, in this case, to verify the completion a mission, one has to be capable of determining how many times each part of the space has been in the robot's range of detection.In this context, we introduce the concept of coverage measure, that represents how many times a part of the environment was explored by a mobile robot during a mission. In adition to evaluating revisiting missions, the coverage measure is also useful for path optimization and it can be valuable for improving the efficiency of localization algorithms in homogeneous environments, such as the underwater environment.Furthermore, we establish a relation between the coverage measure and the topological degree. This relation allows us to propose a novel approach for estimating the explored area based on topological properties of the environment that has been observed. Uncertainty associated to the mission in noisy environments is taken into consideration through the use of interval analysis in the problem formalization.The theory and the algorithms developed in this thesis are illustreated through real world experiments in the marine environment

This work proposes a merger of Tradespace Exploration with System Dynamics modeling techniques in a complementary approach. It tests the value of this mixed method for modeling the multiplicity of inputs and complexity of feedback loops that affect the cost, schedule and performance of satellite constellations within the Department of Defense. The resulting simulation enables direct comparison of the effect of changing architectural design points and policy choices with respect to satellite acquisitions and fielding. A generation-over-generation examination of policy choices is made possible through the application of soft systems modeling of experience and learning effects. The resulting model enables examination of possible futures given variations in assumptions about both internal and external forces on a satellite production pipeline. This thesis performs a policy analysis examining the current path of the Global Positioning System acquisition and compares it to equivalent position navigation and timing capability delivered through a variety of disaggregated options while varying: design lives, production quantities, non-recurring engineering and time between generations. The extensibility of this technique is investigated by adapting the model to the mission area of Weather and Climate Sensing. This thesis then performs a policy analysis examining different disaggregated approaches for the Joint Polar Satellite, focusing on the impact of complexity. Discussion of factors such as design choices, context variables, tuning variables, model execution and construction is also included.
