Research features on department's website

My recent publication in Scientific Reports - “Manipulation of Free-Floating Objects using Faraday Flows and Deep Reinforcement Learning” - has just been featured on Cambridge University Engineering Department’s website.

Here I looked at how we can control the motion of an object floating on the surface of water without touching it - instead just vibrating the water to produce waves at a fixed point nearby. Given the difficulty of modelling this problem, we used deep reinforcement learning trained with real-world data to develop the controller.
