I’m (only) half joking as I say this... if you’re particularly interested in robotics (be it the mechanical side, or the algorithmic side), try not to get too caught up with “deep RL”. It’s a minefield that generates a LOT of buzz for as yet dubious performance, and IMHO there’s much simpler low-hanging fruit to get started with.

Don't get me started on this... graduate student descent [1] is such a big problem in the field...

What "low-hanging fruit"?
