>I suggest reading Sutton's book on RL I've read part of the book, and followed David Silvers UCL lectures on my own, and have been focused on reading all the recent algorithm/approaches in the field last few weeks. >RL is extensively used in robotics ;) Is it? From Andrej Karpathy:s HN comment[1] and Alex Ipran's[2] comment in 2017 & 2018 I feel like it is just recently (around mid 2019) actual trial on robotics have started to show promise (SAC, E2E) in academia, and only a handful of start ups have approached this (Covariant, founded by one of the professor in the two papers above) But then again, I might be missing some insight here. Thank you for the extremely valuable feedback! :) The formulation of important research question is also something I'm trying to figure out by, getting myself updated in the field to the point of understanding what is missing (or under-studied)! As I mentioned in another comment I'm in the process of applying at a public research institute (as an research assistant) with potential for an industrial PhD position, so those feedback is just on-point valuable for me right now :) (Although the research is not RL focused but is trying to tackle the identical problem formulation in robotics using ML/AI algorithms) [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13519044 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13519044 [2] https://www.alexirpan.com/2018/02/14/rl-hard.html https://www.alexirpan.com/2018/02/14/rl-hard.html
