Behavioral repertoire learning in robotics
, Proceedings of the 15th annual conference on Genetic and evolutionary computation, Publisher: ACM, Pages: 175-182Behavioral Repertoire Learning in RoboticsAntoine CullyISIR, Université Pierre et Marie Curie-Paris 6,CNRS UMR 72224 place Jussieu, F-75252, Paris Cedex 05,Francecully@isir.upmc.frJean-Baptiste MouretISIR, Université Pierre et Marie Curie-Paris 6,CNRS UMR 72224 place Jussieu, F-75252, Paris Cedex 05,Francemouret@isir.upmc.frABSTRACTLearning in robotics typically involves choosing a simple goal(e.g. walking) and assessing the performance of each con-troller with regard to this task (e.g. walking speed). How-ever, learning advanced, input-driven controllers (e.g. walk-ing in each direction) requires testing each controller on alarge sample of the possible input signals. This costly pro-cess makes difficult to learn useful low-level controllers inrobotics.Here we introduce BR-Evolution, a new evolutionary learn-ing technique that generates a behavioral repertoire by tak-ing advantage of the candidate solutions that are usuallydiscarded. Instead of evolving a single, general controller,BR-evolution thus evolves a collection of simple controllers,one for each variant of the target behavior; to distinguishsimilar controllers, it uses a performance objective that al-lows it to produce a collection of diverse but high-performingbehaviors. We evaluated this new technique by evolving gaitcontrollers for a simulated hexapod robot. Results show thata single run of the EA quickly finds a collection of controllersthat allows the robot to reach each point of the reachablespace. Overall, BR-Evolution opens a new kind of learningalgorithm that simultaneously optimizes all the achievablebehaviors of a robot.

ARNI: Abductive inference of complex regulatory network structures
, 11th International Conference, CMSB 2013, Pages: 235-237, ISSN: 0302-9743Physical network inference methods use a template of molecular interaction to infer biological networks from high throughput datasets. Current inference methods have limited applicability, relying on cause-effect pairs or systematically perturbed datasets and fail to capture complex network structures. Here we present a novel framework, ARNI, based on abductive inference, that addresses these limitations. © Springer-Verlag 2013.

Optimization of a compact model for the compliant humanoid robot COMAN using reinforcement learning
, International Journal of Cybernetics and Information Technologies, Vol: 12, Pages: 76-85, ISSN: 1311-9702COMAN is a compliant humanoid robot. The introduction of passive compliance in some of its joints affects the dynamics of the whole system. Unlike traditional stiff robots, there is a deflection of the joint angle with respect to the desired one whenever an external torque is applied. Following a bottom up approach, the dynamic equations of the joints are defined first. Then, a new model which combines the inverted pendulum approach with a three-dimensional (Cartesian) compliant model at the level of the center of mass is proposed. This compact model is based on some assumptions that reduce the complexity but at the same time affect the precision. To address this problem, additional parameters are inserted in the model equation and an optimization procedure is performed using reinforcement learning. The optimized model is experimentally validated on the COMAN robot using several ZMP-based walking gaits.
