Reinforcement Learning Deep Dive with Pieter Abbeel

Our second guest in the Industrial AI series is Pieter Abbeel, Assistant Professor at UC Berkeley, Research Scientist at OpenAI and Cofounder of Gradescope.  Pieter has an extensive background in AI research, going way back to his days as Andrew Ng's first PhD student at Stanford. His research today is focused on deep learning for robotics. During this conversation, Pieter and I really dig into reinforcement learning, which is a technique for allowing robots (or AIs) to learn through their own trial and error.
