LUC MCCUTCHEON

Machine Learning Engineer

I’m a Machine Learning Engineer specialising in reinforcement learning, world models, and distributed post-training for embodied robotics.

My work spans world models, Lyapunov stability functions, and sim-to-real transfer for humanoid robotics, with algorithms implemented from scratch in JAX and PyTorch. I’ve published at ICRA, NeurIPS, and IROS, and serve as a reviewer for top ML and robotics venues.

Previously, I’ve held research roles at Cambridge Consultants (humanoid RL & VLAs) and Agile Loop (agentic AI pipelines), where I led teams and delivered production research to clients including Google Cloud and Lenovo.


Research Interests

  • Reinforcement learning for robotic control
  • VLA/WAM post-training
  • Neural Lyapunov functions for stability
  • Continual, multi-task and meta-learning
  • World models and model-based RL
