Contextual Multi-Task Reinforcement Learning for Autonomous Reef Monitoring

arXiv:2604.12645v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although autonomous underwater vehicles promise the capability of marine ecosystem monitoring, their deployment is fundamentally limited by the difficulty of controlling vehicles under highly uncertain and non-stationary underwater dynamics. To address these challenges, we employ a data-driven reinforcement learning approach to compensate for unknown dynamics and task variations.Traditional single-task reinforcement learning has a tendency to ove
