Akshara Rai
RESEARCH SCIENTIST | MENLO PARK, UNITED STATES
Akshara is a Research Scientist at Facebook AI Research, working at the intersection of machine learning and control. Her research aims at teaching robots to perform novel tasks in very few trials, by utilizing models, simulators, or data from previously learned tasks. She is focussed on bringing mobile robot platforms, in particular legged systems, to the real-world, by utilizing supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning along with control theory.
