Sergey Levine: Robotics and Machine Learning | Lex Fridman Podcast #108
“I actually found a lot of the work by Isaac Asimov to be very inspiring when I was younger”— guest
The guest here is Sergey Levine: Professor at UC Berkeley and a world-class researcher in deep learning, reinforcement learning, robotics, and computer vision, known for end-to-end training of neural network policies that combine perception and control. Berkeley roboticist Sergey Levine argues robotics is the best way to understand intelligence, and that machines must learn from real-world interaction to gain common sense.
