Yang, Yufeng (author)Event-based cameras promise new opportunities for smart vision systems deployed at the edge. Contrary to their conventional frame-based counterparts, event-based cameras generate temporal light intensity changes as events on a per-pixel basis, enabling ultra-low latency with microsecond-scale temporal resolution, low power consumption at...master thesis 2023

Yang, Q. (author)In traditional reinforcement learning (RL) problems, agents can explore environments to learn optimal policies through trials and errors that are sometimes unsafe. However, unsafe interactions with environments are unacceptable in many safety-critical problems, for instance in robot navigation tasks. Even though RL agents can be trained in...doctoral thesis 2023

Yang, Q. (author), Spaan, M.T.J. (author)Without an assigned task, a suitable intrinsic objective for an agent is to explore the environment efficiently. However, the pursuit of exploration will inevitably bring more safety risks.<br/>An under-explored aspect of reinforcement learning is how to achieve safe efficient exploration when the task is unknown.<br/>In this paper, we propose a...conference paper 2023

Zhang, F. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author)To assess the structural capacity of reinforced concrete structures, identifying the internal cracks is important. Acoustic emission (AE) is promising to estimate the location of internal cracks. However, the localization is influenced by many factors like arrival time picking error, presence of crack, etc., resulting in localization error. The...journal article 2023
