MSc Project
Adaptive Hybrid Control Architectures for LLM-Controlled Robot Arm
This project seeks to develop an adaptive control architecture that leverages the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) for enhanced decision-making. By dynamically selecting and switching between various learning or planning methods—such as reinforcement learning and imitation learning—based on real-time environmental data, the architecture will enable robots to perform complex tasks more efficiently in unpredictable settings. The initiative promises to improve robotic performance, thereby enabling robots to understand and execute task instructions with unprecedented flexibility and accuracy.
