Hardware & Making

After the end of my studies in mechanical engineering, I started working on human-robot interaction in the Telerobotics and Haptics Lab at the European Space Agency (ESA). This gave me a broad insight into electronics and software for real-time systems, including development of electronics and control software for an experiment that was performed on the International Space Station (ISS). Then, I decided to begin a PhD thesis in this domain, which I hope to finish soon. My research interests are how to make robots move as dynamically and robustly as humans, and how to map human motion to a remotely operating robot efficiently, for example for disaster recovery like at Fukushima.
