Academic Achievements
- Published numerous papers in top venues including ICRA, Robotics and Autonomous Systems, Advanced Robotics, and Journal of Open Source Software
- Developed the ARC-OPT (Adaptive Robot Control using Optimization) open-source library for whole-body robot control
- Contributed to the MARLIN project: a cloud-integrated robotic solution for intralogistics in retail
- Involved in the RH5 Manus humanoid upper-body design for dynamic movements
- Made systematic contributions in whole-body control, series-parallel hybrid robots, human–robot collaboration, contact modeling, and adaptive MPC
Background
- Postdoctoral researcher in Robotics and AI at the Robotics Innovation Center (RIC) of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), Bremen, Germany
- Leader of the Mechanics & Control Team at DFKI RIC
- Aims to develop dynamic robots that move and interact with environments with animal- and human-like grace and agility
- Focuses on fundamental principles of mechanisms and motion control
- In mechanics: investigates novel robot design principles with rigorous mathematical modeling of geometry, kinematics, and dynamics
- In control: works on state estimation from noisy/incomplete sensor data and planning/stabilizing dynamic motions (e.g., walking, running, jumping, brachiating) in real environments
