Reinforcement Learning for Switching Control of Semi-automated Vehicles with Driver Fatigue

Automated driving is a rapidly growing technology nowadays. Semi-automated driving is a subpart of automated driving which has multiple driving modes where both driver and automated module can take control. But full safety and comfort guarantees cannot still be given to the drivers. In this project, research has been done to ensure driver safety...

Safe Optimization of Steel Manufacturing with Reinforcement Learning

Steel production is a complex problem, and little has been done to improve it with the usage of Reinforcement Learning techniques. Most studies focus on decomposing it into sub-problems, instead of tacking it as a whole. Research has shown promising results in the area of safe policy improvement on toy problems. These algorithms are not only...

Safe Reinforcement Learning Applications

Reinforcement Learning (RL) focuses on maximizing the returns (discounted rewards) throughout the episodes, one of the main challenges when using it is that it is inadequate for safety-critical tasks due to the possibility of transitioning into critical states while exploring. Safe Reinforcement Learning (SafeRL) is a subset of RL that focuses...
