Cleef, L.H.M. (author), Bouchaut, B.F.H.J. (author), Yang, M. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)In the built environment, often too much focus is put on compliance instead of seeking the optimal fire-safety solution for the building. Because of a lack of tangible incentives for building owners, the benefits of implementing fire safety measures and their societal contribution are often not recognized and therefore, not considered. By means...journal article 2024

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, Zhe (author), Liu, Zhou (author), Zhang, Qi (author), Chen, Zhe (author), de Jesus Chavez, Jose (author), Popov, M. (author)The traditional fault control strategy of converter-interfaced renewable energy sources (CIRESs) may bring about a lower sensitivity level or misoperation of fault component-based directional elements. To overcome this problem, a new control scheme is proposed to adjust sequence impedance angles of CIRESs by computing suitable current...journal article 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
