Other Work Experiences

I specialize in physical human-robot interaction. However, my interests and skills encompass robotic systems:

  • from mechanical design to motor control
  • from sensor interfaces to signal conditioning
  • from tele-operation to agency
  • from human tracking to human-robot interaction

In the sections below I present my work within the various sub-fields of robotics.
