This is the regularly updated webpage of Wendelin Böhmer's research group within the Sequential Decision Making group at the Delft University of Technology. The lab investigates cutting edge problems in Deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) with the goal to make RL applicable to real life. Check out our mission statement under Research, find out what our team is working on under People, or have a look at the courses and thesis opportunities we offer to TU Delft students under Teaching and Theses.
