Data-Efficient Reinforcement Learning with Probabilistic Model Predictive Control

Trial-and-error based reinforcement learning (RL) has seen rapid advancements in recent times, especially with the advent of deep neural networks. However, the majority of autonomous RL algorithms require a large number of interactions with the environment. A large number of interactions may be impractical in many real-world applications, such as robotics, and many practical systems have to obe...

Model Predictive Control and Reinforcement Learning as Two Complementary Frameworks

Model predictive control (MPC) and reinforcement learning (RL) are two popular families of methods to control system dynamics. In their traditional setting, they formulate the control problem as a discrete-time optimal control problem and compute a suboptimal control policy. We present in this paper in a unified framework these two families of methods. We run for MPC and RL algorithms simulatio...

Learning-based Model Predictive Control for Safe Exploration and Reinforcement Learning

Learning-based methods have been successful in solving complex control tasks without significant prior knowledge about the system. However, these methods typically do not provide any safety guarantees, which prevents their use in safety-critical, real-world applications. In this paper, we present a learning-based model predictive control scheme that provides provable high-probability safety gua...
