Professional Experience

Aalto University

Research Assistant — Intelligent Robotics Group, 
 Aalto University

May 2023 — August 2023

I worked on an ongoing individual research project I had been developing with supervisors Prof. Ville Kyrki and Prof. Kevin Luck for the previous 6 months. I incorporate an imitation learning signal measuring the behavioral similarity between different morphologies in the reinforcement learning co-adaptation setting (i.e., the design and behavior of an agent are jointly optimized). We have observed that including this signal improves achieved rewards; these benefits scale proportionally to the complexity of the task. I gave a 40-min. talk at the department about the project. This work culminated in a paper, which we have presented at RSS EARL 2024 and EWRL 2024, winning the “Best Workshop Paper Award” in the earlier.
