-    note: |
-      The goal of this thesis is to develop an active learning algorithm that can effectively automatically tune controller gains. The key idea is to tune the gains in simulation and incrementally improve the quality of the simulation accuracy by collecting data on the real platform. Active learning is used to automatically compute experiments to be executed on the physical platform that promise to improve the simulator accuracy most significantly.
