Welcome to the IRL Lab
The Intelligent Robot Learning Laboratory (IRL Lab) was started in 2013 at Washington State University and moved to the University of Alberta in 2020. We focus on fundamental reinforcement learning research and applying artificial intelligence to real-world settings in both simulated and physical environments.
