• Abstract: This work introduces SwarmRL, a Python package designed to study intelligent active particles. SwarmRL provides an easy-to-use interface for developing models to control microscopic colloids using classical control and deep reinforcement learning approaches. These models may be deployed in simulations or real-world environments under a common framework. We explain the structure of the software and its key features and demonstrate how it can be used to accelerate research. With SwarmRL, we aim to streamline research into micro-robotic control while bridging the gap between experimental and simulation-driven sciences. SwarmRL is available open-source on GitHub at https://github.com/SwarmRL/SwarmRL.

  This paper proposes a distributed cell power-control scheme based on Federated Reinforcement Learning (FRL) Models in different indoor environments are aggregated to the global model during the training process, and then the central server broadcasts the updated model back to each client. The results of the generalisation test show that using the FRL model as the base model improves the convergence speed of the model in the new environment.

  We present a deep imitation learning framework for robotic bimanual manipulation. A core challenge is to generalize the manipulation skills to objects in different locations. We propose to (i) decompose the multi-modal dynamics into elemental movement primitives, (ii) parameterize each primitive using a recurrent graph neural network to capture interactions, and (iii) integrate a high-level planner that composes primitives sequentially and a low-level controller to combine primitive dynamics and inverse kinematics control.
