Role in GRAIL
Imperial College London’s Department of Computing will contribute expertise in robot learning and robot manipulation. This will focus on generating datasets both with real-world data and simulated data, developing new algorithms to enable robots to learn from this data, and evaluating these on real-world robot arms and hands. Within this, the particular specialism will be developing algorithms that can learn new, dexterous tasks from a very small amount of real-world experience, as well as algorithms which enable lifelong learning with minimal human supervision.
