Developing active and flexible microrobots
Leiden researchers Professor Daniela Kraft and Mengshi Wei have created microscopic robots that move without sensors, software, or external control. Instead, their behaviour emerges entirely from their shape and the way they interact with their environment. This class of robots opens up entirely new possibilities for biomedical applications. Inspiration to build these robots came from nature. Kraft: "Animals like worms and snakes constantly adapt their shape as they move, which helps them to navigate their environments. Macroscopic robots similarly use flexibility for their function. However, until now, microrobots were either small and rigid, or large and flexible. We wondered if we could realize small and flexible microrobots in our lab."

Creating Multi-Level Skill Hierarchies in Reinforcement Learning S
They had four primitive actions: north, south, east, and west. Multi-Floor Office is an extension of Office to multiple floors. Pick-up and put-down have the intended effect when appropriate; otherwise they do not change the state. T owers of Hanoi contains four discs of different sizes, placed on three poles. Options generated using alternative methods called primitive actions directly.

Paper: Generalization of Reinforcement Learners with Working and Episodic Memory
We thank the reviewers for their thoughtful and constructive feedback on our manuscript. This should help both contextualize each task's difficulty and illustrate what it involves. Reviewer 3 noted the Section 2 task descriptions could be better presented. We have reformatted it so that "the order We also changed our description of IMP ALA to match Reviewer 5's suggestion. Regarding the task suite, Reviewer 4 raised a thoughtful consideration on whether "most of the findings translate when Some 3D tasks in the suite already have '2D-like' semi-counterparts that do not require navigation, '2D-like' because everything is fully observable and the agent has a first-person point of view from a fixed point, without Spot the Difference level, was overall harder than Change Detection for our ablation models.
