Continual Robot Policy Learning via Variational Neural Dynamics
Jiaxu Xing, Zhiyuan Zhu, Yunfan Ren, Ismail Geles, Yifan Zhai, Rudolf Reiter, et al.
Robots deployed in the real world rarely operate under a single fixed dynamics model: wind changes, payloads vary, batteries drain, contacts shift, and hardware wears. Yet most learning-based controllers are trained once and deployed as if learning were complete. This prevents th…
