  • Publication number: 20230092726
    Abstract: A learning device includes a setting unit configured to set a first value for a parameter of a communication device controlled by a computer using a learned model; a reinforcement learning unit configured to allow a learning model to learn; a model extraction unit configured to extract, as a learned model, the learning model; a model evaluation unit configured to determine whether performance of the learned model has reached first requirement; an updating unit configured to update the first value to a second value when the performance is determined to have reached the first requirement; and a model selection unit. The model evaluation unit determines whether the performance of the learned model updated to the second value satisfies second requirement. When the performance of the learned model updated to the second value is determined to satisfy the second requirement, the model selection unit selects that learned model.

  • Publication number: 20230071293
    Abstract: A learning system for performing reinforcement learning of a cooperative action by agents includes the agents; and a reward granting unit configured to grant a reward. The reward granting unit performs a step of, in the presence of a target agent to which the reward is to be granted, calculating an evaluation value relating to a cooperative action of other agents as a first evaluation value; a step of, in the absence of the target agent, calculating an evaluation value relating to a cooperative action of the other agents as a second evaluation value; and a step of calculating a difference between the first and second evaluation values as a penalty of the target agent and calculating the reward to be granted to the target agent based on the penalty. The target agent performs learning of the decision-making model based on the reward granted.

  • Publication number: 20220269995
    Abstract: A learning device is configured to perform reinforcement learning of a policy of an agent by self-play under a multi-agent environment. The multi-agent environment is an asymmetric environment in which at least one of a type of an action performed by the agent, a type of a state acquired by the agent, and a definition of a reward given to the agent is different, and an evaluation index for learning is given to each of agents. The learning device performs performing learning of a predetermined agent of the agents by using a learning model, acquiring the evaluation index for the learning model of the predetermined agent after learning, comparing the evaluation index for the predetermined agent with the evaluation index for the other agent, and a step of setting the agent having a lower evaluation index as a learning target.

  • Publication number: 20200285202
    Abstract: A control device determines an operation scheme of an apparatus on a rule base on the basis of state information indicating the state of the apparatus or the state of an environment in which the apparatus operates, calculates a parameter for determining the content of an operation in the determined operation scheme on the basis of the state information and a learning model constructed on the basis of the operation of the apparatus based on the state information and evaluation of the operation, and commands the apparatus to execute the operation.

  • Publication number: 20170120449
    Abstract: A movable range of angle of each of the plurality of joints and a safety region defined within the movable range are set. An angle command value is generated to each of the plurality of joints, based on current angle data and a distal end position command value. A fault avoidance control is carried out to make a change rate of the angle command value small, when the angle command value is generated to either of the plurality of joints, and the angle command value of the joint exceeds the safety region.

  • Publication number: 20160368142
    Abstract: An optional position is set as a specification point (10) to a multi-joint manipulator (101). A restrained control command value is calculated to control the multi-joint manipulator in a restrained condition that at least one of degrees of freedom of movement of the multi-joint manipulator is restrained in the specification point, when a control command value to control the multi-joint manipulator is given.

  • Publication number: 20160361815
    Abstract: A robot (10) has a command predicting section (11) and a command determining section (12). The command predicting section (11) predicts the next second command based on the content of the first command issued from the remote control terminal (101). The command determining section (12) determines whether or not an operation result according to the second command should be transmitted to the remote control terminal (101), based on a comparison result between the second command and a third command issued from the remote control terminal (101) after the first command.

  • Publication number: 20160347386
    Abstract: Landform data showing the shape of a ground surface (4) is acquired. A specification position is specified on the ground surface. A relative angle (432; 442) between the virtual plane (51) and the ground surface (4) in the at least one inspection point (433; 443) is calculated based on the landform data when the virtual plane (51) set with the reference point (423) and the at least one inspection point (433; 443) is virtually arranged such that the reference point (423) overlaps with the specification position, and such that the virtual plane (51) becomes parallel to the ground surface in the specification position. A landform determination value indicating a flatness of the landform is calculated based on the relative angle (432; 442).
