Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFabian Otto is a Machine Learning Research Scientist with nine years of experience bridging deep reinforcement learning and embodied AI, currently at Isomorphic Labs after research roles at Microsoft Research Cambridge and Bosch CAI. He develops vision-language-action models and training infrastructure for physically embodied agents, with a PhD focused on trust-region methods and integrating movement primitives to handle sparse and non‑Markovian rewards. Fabian combines strong engineering delivery—building simulation and Azure inference tooling—with rigorous research, evidenced by performance gains against PPO/SAC/TD3/MPO baselines. He has a track record of applied impact from industry projects (e.g., improving demand-forecast accuracy by 30% at Schaeffler) and an interest in leveraging large pre-trained language and vision models to give agents rapid adaptation and prior knowledge. Notably, his work spans both low-level algorithmic advances and production-ready systems for real-world robotic deployment.
