The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft currently operates 76 institutes and research institutions throughout Germany and is the world’s leading applied research organization. Around 30 800 employees work with an annual research budget of 3 billion euros.
The »Self-Learning Systems« group at Fraunhofer IIS is part of the »Precise Positioning and Analytics« department and located at the institute’s Nuremberg site. Our team members have diverse academic backgrounds from computer science and engineering to physics. We combine expertise in a range of advanced machine learning (ML) topics. One of our research goals is to provide robust and safe algorithmic solutions for control and decision-making tasks for systems in complex dynamic environments. To this end, we employ deep learning in combination with reinforcement-learning techniques. We research dependable reinforcement learning, i.e., we want to learn behaviors that are safe, performant, and explainable for many different tasks. There is a lot to learn and develop on the way and we are eager to hear about your ideas.
