tinyDSM: A Framework for Skill Modeling and Development for Resource-Constrained Millirobots

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2608.17596v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this study, we investigate developmental mechanisms that enable small, resource-constrained systems such as cm-sized millirobots to autonomously explore, learn, and adapt their capabilities throughout their lifespan. Reinforcement learning algorithms guide the agent's skill acquisition and adaptation through the interplay of our proposed tiny Developmental Skill Method (tinyDSM), which integrates intrinsic motivation and fitness-based assessment. We strive for minimal hard-wired skills while encouraging the open-ended development of new skills. A key emphasis in our approach is to encode minimal a-priori general knowledge, which serves as a foundational starting point for the system as it further learns system-specific dependenci
