  • Publication number: 20220143819
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed that enable training a plurality of policy networks, each policy network corresponding to a disparate robotic training task, using a mobile robot in a real world workspace. Various implementations include selecting a training task based on comparing a pose of the mobile robot to at least one parameter of a real world training workspace. For example, the training task can be selected based on the position of a landmark, within the workspace, relative to the pose. For instance, the training task can be selected such that the selected training task moves the mobile robot towards the landmark.

An entry of a first data structure identifying a page count corresponding to the source block of the cache memory is generated. Following a determination that the data is written to the set of pages of the destination block of the storage area, the entry is updated to identify a decreased page count corresponding to the source block, where the data is erased from the source block when the decreased page count satisfies a condition. A second entry of a second data structure including information mapping a logical block to the source block of the cache memory is also updated.
