I am a PhD student working under the supervision of Prof. Michael Beetz.
As a part of my work at IAS, I've done a lot of the integration needed to get TUM-Rosie running. Here is a timelapse video of our latest hardware work: Re-building Rosie
Please see my Google profile
My research interests include robotic grasping, manipulation, integrating additional sensors to robot hands and arms and robot systems integration.
