Roles,Qualifications & Experiences

Role:
Reinforcement learning holds the promise of enabling robots to solve tasks that are challenging for traditional control algorithms. Despite this promise, RL agents typically learn tabula rasa, and considerable amounts of data and efforts are therefore needed to apply such agents to complex domains. The goal of this internship is to solve some of these challenges by combining RL with techniques from control theory.

Qualifications & Experiences:

• Background in Computer Science, Control, Engineering, Math, or another related field
• Experience with reinforcement learning and deep learning
• Both theoretical and hands-on experience with control theory
• Experience programming in Python with TensorFlow/PyTorch
• Good communication skills in English

Bonus points for

• Publication record in Machine Learning/Control Theory
• Familiarity with motion primitives
