Master thesis on “Development of data-driven driver model”
Supervisor: Prof. Ville Kyrki (ville.kyrki@aalto.fi) Advisor: Daulet Baimukashev (daulet.baimukashev@aalto.fi), Shoaib Azam (shoaib.azam@aalto.fi) Keywords: imitation learning, autonomous driving Data-driven driver models are superior to rule-based models in interactive multi-agent scenarios where it is essential to consider agents’ behavior. For example, humans have diverse driving styles as aggressive, neutral, or defensive [1] and it is challenging to […]
Master thesis on “Visual Action Planning for Complex Object Manipulation”
The aim of this thesis is based on consecutive action planning for robot manipulation and will focus on implementation and improving of a recently presented visual action planning of complex manipulation tasks
Master Thesis on “Interactive Bayesian Multiobjective Evolutionary Optimization in Reinforcement Learning Problems with Conflicting Reward Functions”
In many real-world problems, there are multiple conflicting objective functions that need to be optimized simultaneously. For example, an investment company wants to create an optimum portfolio of stocks to maximize profits and minimize risk simultaneously. However, most reinforcement learning (RL) problems do not explicitly consider the tradeoff between multiple conflicting reward functions and assume a scalarized single objective reward function to be optimized. Multiobjective evolutionary optimization algorithms (MOEAs) can be used to find Pareto optimal policies by considering multiple reward functions as objectives.
Master Thesis on “Deep Imitative Models for Safe Planning of Autonomous Driving”
The goal of this thesis is to devise an algorithm that combines the advantage of both IL and MBRL for robust and safe planning for autonomous driving. In this context, the thesis is expected to include implementations of IL and MBRL algorithms and fuse them for planning tasks.
Master Thesis on “Inverse Reinforcement Learning for Driving Behavior Modeling”
The goal of this thesis is to formulate driving behavior modeling as an inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) problem. In this context, the thesis is expected to include implementations of different IRL methods and compare them concerning prediction capabilities.
Master Thesis on “Interaction Modeling for Autonomous Driving Using Graph Neural Networks”
The goal of this thesis is to model the interactions among autonomous agents in dense traffic using GNN. In this context, the thesis is expected to include an ablation study to identify which input features (such as velocity, distance to other vehicles, etc.) has the maximum effect on prediction and the effects of changing the graph structure on the interactions among the vehicles.
Master Thesis on “Model-based Dynamic Manipulation of Deformable Objects”
The goal of this thesis is to develop model-based approaches for the dynamic manipulation of a deformable object. Particularly, the focus will be on the task of throwing a lasso around a target (a bollard) with a robotic arm.
Master Thesis on “Adversarial Robotic Cloth Manipulation”
This thesis will focus on how to use adversarial learning for improving existing methods in robotic cloth manipulation.
Energy-Efficiency of Reinforcement Learning
This thesis will investigate the energy consumption of such reinforcement learning algorithms for both training and inference using monitoring capabilities. The goal is to find out how different algorithms compare in performance vs energy consumption on practical applications and if there are ways to reduce energy consumption by trading performance for low computational complexity, for example.
Robustify Behaviour and Morphology of Robots against Future Damage
This project is aimed at developing new methodologies and frameworks for learning behaviours and designs of robots with the goal of making them robust to mechanical failures or stark environmental changes impacting the performance of the robot.
