Research interests
My research vision is to create dexterous and safe robotic physical interactions with the environment or humans in unstructured scenarios. I combine control methods and machine learning techniques in applications that include human-to-robot object handovers, stable grasping and in-hand manipulation as well as variable-stiffness-joint robots and haptic feedback during minimally invasive surgery.
