Prof. Marc Toussaint

Marc Toussaint is professor for Intelligent Systems at TU Berlin and was previously professor for ML and Robotics at U Stuttgart, Max Planck Fellow at the MPI for Intelligent Systems, and visiting scholar at MIT. His research interests are in the intersection of AI and robotics, namely in using machine learning, optimization, and AI reasoning to tackle fundamental problems in robotics. Concrete research topics include models and algorithms for physical reasoning, task-and-motion planning (logic-geometric programming), learning heuristics, the planning-as-inference paradigm, and learning to transfer model-based strategies to reactive and adaptive real-world behavior.
