Many amazing ML/Robotics PhDs I've mentored have come from non-CS backgrounds. It can be scary at first, so I started summer bootcamps: I give a chalk talk & students take turns writing a blog & creating a coding PSet. The first 4 blogs are now online!

What do you do when you want to teach a robot a skill (like hitting a tennis ball) but aren’t an expert? That’s ok! @chen_letian is giving a plenary talk #CoRL2020 tomorrow on how robots can learn from suboptimal demonstration to perform better than the human teacher! @mlatgt

It was a privilege to work with the @GT_EPIC_Lab using deep learning to help hip exoskeletons work for everyone without person-specific tuning. Impressed with @dean_molinaro @inseungkang @jcamargo_co and all Aaron Young is doing to improve this tech.
