Inter-code Comparison of Time Independent Pulsed Sphere Benchmark Results

Creator:: Northrop, Jordan
Abstract:: The pulsed sphere benchmark problems are a set of physical experiments that have been used to verify Monte Carlo codes and evaluate nuclear data. All Monte Carlo codes rely on benchmark experiments that test the features of the code to verify that the simulations are producing realistic results. In the...

Recurrent Neural Networks for Robotic Control of a Human-Scale Bipedal Robot

Creator:: Siekmann, Jonah A.
Abstract:: Dynamic bipedal locomotion is among the most difficult and yet relevant problems in modern robotics. While a multitude of classical control methods for bipedal locomotion exist, they are often brittle or limited in capability. In recent years, work in applying reinforcement learning to robotics has lead to superior performance across...
