The Real Life Reinforcement Learning Research Lab (RL3) is a cutting-edge research group part of the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Laboratory (AIRLab) with the Department of Electronics, Information, and Bioengineering (DEIB) at Politecnico di Milano (PoliMi).

We seek pushing the boundaries of Reinforcement Learning (RL) through a unique blend of theoretical and applictive research. Our mission is to develop the next generation of RL algorithms for complex environments, always keeping in mind both theoretical guarantees and real-world applications 

With a constant presence in top-tier machine learning conferences and journals (such as ICML, NeurIPS, ICLR, COLT, JMLR), we are one of the most influential RL research groups in Europe. We actively contribute in numerous individual and collaborative research projects funded by public institutions. Furthermore, we collaborate with leading private companies, applying RL to key sectors such as green technology, Industry 4.0, and energy.

We are part of ELLIS (European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems), a prestigious network of excellence in machine learning and artificial intelligence.
