Smarter Robotic Arms: Reinforcement Learning & MPPI in Action
Discover how modern algorithms like Reinforcement Learning and Model Predictive Path Integral (MPPI) are revolutionizing robotic arm navigation. In this week’s RoboTalk, Pedro Jinjun Dong, an enthusiast of robotic arm algorithms and active RoboTUM member, will share his work on motion planning, obstacle avoidance, and autonomous manipulation.
Learn how simulation-based techniques are being applied to robotic arms and bipedal robot models, and how this research connects to broader applications in teleoperation and elderly care robotics.
A 15–20 minute talk will be followed by a 30–40 minute open discussion and Q&A.
RoboTalks is a weekly speaker series by RoboTUM – Innovation & Education, giving students, researchers, and professors the stage to share ideas and spark interdisciplinary exchange.
