SCAMPER trains a virtual rat to forage with sparse rewards using natural, lifelike movement
yshan2u · x · 2026-10-22
SCAMPER teaches a virtual rat to forage under sparse rewards while moving like a real animal.
The key idea: model natural exploration and goal-directed control separately, then let the policy learn when to switch between the two modes — enabling efficient exploration in sparse-reward tasks without sacrificing movement realism.
