Hierarchical supervisor-agent

Transient sensor noise evaluation

Fault: Sensor noise
Duration: Transient
Recovery mechanism: Hierarchical supervisor-agent

Experiment definition

The experiment evaluates Hierarchical supervisor-agent under a transient sensor noise injection. Fault onset is randomized between environment steps 40 and 60.

Values are means with 95% confidence intervals across every target × duration-fixed combination shown on this page (see graphs below), 8 evaluation seeds each, for each of 3 training seeds. See the Results page for the cross-mechanism comparison.

Experimental trajectory graphs

One representative run (evaluation seed 0 of 8, training seed 1 of 3) per target combination from the full sweep. See the Results page for the multi-seed aggregate comparison across mechanisms.
