Our Reinforcement Learning Community was set-up with the goal to form a network, promote collaboration, and push the topic of RL in Austria. True to that mission we recently held our first “RL in the industry” event featuring applied RL across industries! 💡 Matteo Lucchi and Friedemann Zimmermann from Joanneum Research discussed “Robo-gym”, their open-source toolkit for distributed deep reinforcement learning on real and simulated robots. 💡 Huan Chen, University of Graz, presented her work on implementing RL to implement system controllers for hybrid electric vehicle drivetrains, focussing on developing an effective RL-algorithm, which is compatible with the standard simulation software tools. 🗣️ An open discussion rounded up the successful event with exciting input from across the range of application fields –identifying issues that arise in the broad context of applying RL to industrial applications and brainstorm open research problems. 👏 Overall, we were blown away by the level of work and enthusiasm! Thanks to the keynotes for setting the standards high, to our group leaders Catherine Laflamme and Matthias Dorfer, and to all the participants for the pertinent questions and the engaging discussions! We’re looking forward to the next one! #RL #AIA
