Alina Böhm

I am currently working towards my Master’s degree in Autonomous Systems and Robotics at TU Darmstadt after discovering during my Bachelor’s in Cognitive Science that the intersection of Machine Learning and Robotics is what truly excites me. Subsequently, I have been involved in multiple Tactile Sensing projects at IAS, looking into both Active Learning and Reinforcement Learning, the first of which also lead to a conference paper at ICRA 2024 titled “What Matters for Active Texture Recognition With Vision-Based Tactile Sensors”, authored by me, Tim Schneider, Boris Belousov, Alap Kshirsagar, Lisa Lin, Katja Doerschner, Knut Drewing, Constantin A Rothkopf, and Jan Peters. Furthermore, I have been a part of projects in the fields of Explainable AI at the AIML lab from Prof. Kristian Kersting and Image & Video Analysis group from Prof. Simone Schaub-Meyer, and Imitation Learning at PEARL by Prof. Georgia Chalvatzaki. I also completed an internship at MPI for Intelligent Systems, working on Reinforcement Learning for robotic table tennis.
