Reinforcement Learning for Excavation Planning ETH Zurich Robotic Systems Lab We aim to develop a reinforcement learning-based global excavation planner that can plan for the long term and execute a wide range of excavation geometries. The system will be deployed on our legged excavator. Intelligent Robotics Master Thesis, Semester Project

Reinforcement Learning for Particle-Based Excavation in Isaac Sim ETH Zurich Robotic Systems Lab We want to train RL agents on our new particle simulator, accelerated on the GPU via warp in Isaac sim. Intelligent Robotics Master Thesis, Semester Project

Terrain Neural Scene Reconstruction for RL ETH Zurich Robotic Systems Lab In this project, our goal is to build a practical solution for reconstructing 3D earthworks scenes using incomplete point cloud data. We plan to train an encoder-decoder neural network that can accurately recreate the missing parts of the scene. However, our main emphasis lies in creating powerful latent representations that will enable us to train reinforcement learning agents for digging tasks.

Temporal Graphical Modeling for Understanding and Preventing Autonomic Dysreflexia ETH Zurich Spinal Cord Injury & Artificial Intelligence Lab Other organizations: ETH Competence Center - Competence Center for Rehabilitation Engineering and Science (RESC), Sensory-Motor Systems Lab This project will be based on the preliminary results obtained from a previous master project in causal graphical modeling of autonomous dysreflexia (AD). The focus of the extension would be two-fold. One is improving the temporal graphical reconstruction for understanding the mechanism of AD. The other one is building a forecasting framework for the early detection and prevention of AD using the graph structure we constructed before. Please refer to the attached document for more details about the task description. Based on the candidate's qualifications, funding/allowance can be provided.
