About the Laboratory & Research Area

Robot learning is practical machine learning methods which are applied to physical systems, such as robots.
In robot learning, the difficulties lie in the study of influence of robot action on the environment and learning with sensory values which has causal relationship with robot’s action.
Robot learning can be considered as a new machine learning technology to overcome the difficulties in applying machine learning to physical systems.
In RLLAB (Robot Learning Laboratory), we study theory and robot learning applications including robotics, computer vision and machine learning.

Robotics: Deep reinforcement learning, Robust learning from demonstration, Optimal control
Computer vision: Situation understanding, 3D shape & action reconstruction
Machine learning: Deep learning, Nested sparse newtork, Transfer learning
