Connectionists: PhD Position on DRL for robot locomotion

[malte.schilling at uni-muenster.de]

There is a PhD position open in the Autonomous Intelligent Systems group at the University of Münster.

The focus of the position will be on Deep Reinforcement Learning for the control of locomotion in robots. In particular, we are aiming to develop biologically-inspired principles that enable more efficient learning mechanisms for adaptive behaviour. This position will focus on model-free and model-based learning approaches for the control of robots based on biological principles such as decentralization, modularization, and hierarchical organization. The architecture shall be applied to one of our robots, e.g. the Unitree Go1, in multiple and increasingly more difficult tasks that require transfer learning. Furthermore, the candidate will get the opportunity to extend this work in further directions, for example, towards a multi-agent setting or XAI that makes decision-making more transparent (for more information, get in contact with us). This position is tied to working towards a doctorate.

For more information, get in contact with us and see: https://www.uni-muenster.de/Rektorat/Stellen/ausschreibungen/st_20231512_js12.html 

Applications of interested computer scientists and machine learners are welcome!
Regards

 Malte Schilling
