Mechanisms underlying reinforcement learning of motor skills

Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis

Motor learning allows animals, including human beings, to acquire skills that are es-sential for efficient interactions with the environment. This ability to learn new motor skills is of great practical relevance for daily-life activities (such as when lea ...

A geometric optimal control approach for imitation and generalization of manipulation skills

Sylvain Calinon, Amirreza Razmjoo Fard

Daily manipulation tasks are characterized by regular features associated with the task structure, which can be described by multiple geometric primitives related to actions and object shapes. Only using Cartesian coordinate systems cannot fully represent ...

PID-like active impedance control for electroacoustic resonators to design tunable single-degree-of-freedom sound absorbers

Hervé Lissek, Maxime Volery, Xinxin Guo

Sound absorption at low frequencies still remains a challenge in both scientific research and engineering practice. Natural porous materials are ineffective in this frequency range, as well as acoustic resonators which present too narrow bandwidth of absor ...

Reward boosts reinforcement-based motor learning

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis

Besides relying heavily on sensory and reinforcement feedback, motor skill learning may also depend on the level of motivation experienced during training. Yet, how motivation by reward modulates motor learning remains unclear. In 90 healthy subjects, we i ...

Emittance growth suppression with a multibunch feedback in high-energy hadron colliders: Numerical optimization of the gain and bandwidth

Xavier Buffat, Sondre Vik Furuseth

A transverse feedback system can effectively mitigate the emittance growth caused by injection oscillations and machine noise in hadron beams. However, as its action on the beam depends on beam position measurements of finite accuracy, it introduces additi ...

Acidity and the multiphase chemistry of atmospheric aqueous particles and clouds

Athanasios Nenes

The acidity of aqueous atmospheric solutions is a key parameter driving both the partitioning of semi-volatile acidic and basic trace gases and their aqueous-phase chemistry. In addition, the acidity of atmospheric aqueous phases, e.g., deliquesced aerosol ...

Update on yesterday's dose-Use of delivery log-files for daily adaptive proton therapy (DAPT)

Marco Matter

In daily adaptive proton therapy (DAPT), the treatment plan is re-optimized on a daily basis. It is a straightforward idea to incorporate information from the previous deliveries during the optimization to refine this daily proton delivery. A feedback sign ...

On the effect of linear feedback and parametric pumping on a resonator's frequency stability

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Zohreh Mohammadi

Resonant sensors based on micro- and nano-electro mechanical systems (M/NEMS) are ubiquitous in many sensing applications due to their outstanding performance capabilities, which are directly proportional to the quality factor (Q) of the devices. We addres ...

Feedback Control Design Maximizing the Region of Attraction of Stochastic Systems Using Polynomial Chaos Expansion

Petr Listov

A feedback control design is proposed for stochastic systems with finite second moment which aims at maximising the region of attraction of the equilibrium point. Polynomial Chaos (PC) expansions are employed to represent the stochastic closed loop system ...

Optimization-based Control, Estimation, and Identification of Urban Road Transport Systems

Isik Ilber Sirmatel

Urbanization intensifies as a global trend, exposing transportation networks to ever increasing levels of congestion. As network usage increases with available infrastructure, building new roads is not a solution. Design of intelligent transportation syste ...

Preliminary Study: Effects of Visual Distortion on Standing Balance Motion Amplitude and Visual Dependency on an Unstable Surface

Olaf Blanke, Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Jemina Fasola

Visual feedback is a common method to enhance motor learning and is widely used in rehabilitation institutes. Although balance training with visual feedback has shown positive results, the most effective way to provide the feedback is still open to researc ...

Appearance and Disappearance of Quantum Correlations in Measurement-Based Feedback Control of a Mechanical Oscillator

Tobias Kippenberg, Dalziel Joseph Wilson, Sergey Fedorov, Ryan Daniel Schilling, Vivishek Sudhir, Amir Hossein Ghadimi, Hendrik Schütz

Quantum correlations between imprecision and backaction are a hallmark of continuous linear measurements. Here, we study how measurement-based feedback can be used to improve the visibility of quantum correlations due to the interaction of a laser field wi ...

Visual crowding illustrates the inadequacy of local vs. global and feedforward vs. feedback distinctions in modeling visual perception

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Aaron Michael Clarke

Experimentalists tend to classify models of visual perception as being either local or global, and involving either feedforward or feedback processing. We argue that these distinctions are not as helpful as they might appear, and we illustrate these issues ...
