Making robots learn in the real-world

Most of nowadays research is focused on learning in simulation. Learning in simulation, however, is not scalable, as it requires the design of new simulator environments for each task. Ultimately, we want to have robots that learn in the real world, similarly to animals and humans. However, learning in the real world is challenging. My research focuses on providing helpful representation and abstraction for embodied agents. I also focus on theoretical aspects of reinforcement learning to provide higher efficiency.

• Reinforcement Learning
• Motor skills
• Abstraction.
