I’ve recently participated in the Montreal Robotic Summer School (MRSS 2023) held by the prestigious MILA Institute in Montreal. For a week, I had the chance to listen to great talks from both industrial and academic speakers, as well as playing with a quadruped Unitree Go1 robot.
Among all the topics covered :
- Introduction to Robotics by Glen Berseth - MILA
- State Estimation by Maani Ghaffari - University of Michigan
- Simultaneous Localization and Mapping by Liam Paull - MILA
- Sim2Real by NVIDIA researchers
- Pratical RL by Laura Graesser - Google
- .. and others !
All afternoons were dedicated to some robot time so as to prepare the end-of-week competition. Objective : train a RL controller policy and implement a planning strategy to navigate to a desired goal.
