Research
Machine Intelligence Laboratory (MiLAB) is mainly engaged in the field of robot learning, in-depth research on how to use machine learning theory to improve robot behavioral intelligence. Focus on the following research directions:
1. Deep Reinforcement Learning;
2. Embodied Learning and Intelligence.
The research on Deep reinforcement learning and embodied intelligence is aimed to improve the general behavioral intelligence of robots such as behavioral flexibility, behavioral autonomous learning ability and rapid adaptability. More than 100 international academic papers have been published, where approximately 70 papers have been published in the past five years, including AI top-tier conferences and international journals such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, AAAI. They have also applied for more than 10 patents and developed a distinctive footed robot. For more details, please visit the laboratory's homepage: https://milab.westlake.edu.cn/.
