At each sampling time instant, one observes system output and action to form discrete-time rewards. The sampled input-output data are collected along the trajectory of the dynamical system in ...

In this paper we consider infinite horizon discrete-time optimal control of Markov decision processes (MDPs) with finite state spaces and compact action sets. We restrict attention to unicost MDPs, ...
Time-optimal motion planning represents a critical area in robotics research, focusing on the design of trajectories that minimise execution time while respecting kinematic and dynamic constraints.
