Safe Reinforcement Learning for Automated Vehicles

Fully automated vehicles have the potential to increase road safety and improve traffic flow by taking the human element out of the driving loop. They can also provide mobility to people who are unable to operate a conventional vehicle. Safe automated vehicles must be able to respond in emergency situations or drive on slippery roads in bad...

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...
