Research Projects
I am working on physical Human-Robot Collaboration with the broader goal of creating intuitive and save methods of interaction. This is achieved by combining traditional learning approaches with natural language processing, human intention prediction and novel ways of expressing the robot’s intent.

Intention Projection
Intention projection is used to indicate what actions a robot wants to take or to point out certain objects and areas to a human coworker. The system greatly increases the robots ability to communicate with humans.
Interplanetary Initiative
The interplanetary initiative brings together researches from various fields to pave the way for humans in space. I am working on creating innovative space suits to prevent adverse effects from low-gravity environments.
Semantic Policies
This research aims to provide a safe and transparent human-robot collaboration by combining traditional learning from demonstration with natural language processing.
Tactile Sensing
Leveraging recent insights in Deep Learning, we propose a Deep Predictive Model that uses tactile sensor information to reason about slip and its future influence on the manipulated object.
