Though he had to resort to manual calibration. I always find he has interesting problems for domain experts and would like to see him team up with one. Also with programmers for faster programs than self taught python.

The guy has a masters in compsci and mechanical engineering, he has done both python and c++ afaik for his projects

  • In the video in question, he doesn't seem able to choose a good scoring function for the stochastic solver (even over multiple weeks), seemingly choosing a linear sum of distances (see 8:50) between simulation and reality. That's a mistake that not even an undergraduate should make. He needs some domain experts.

  • I think the parent comment is specifically addressing why the black box (or stochastic?) optimizer he used not working.
