Research Interests
During my ongoing work towards the PhD degree, I am creating hardware and algorithms to enhance humanoid robots with a whole body sense of touch. Unlike most of the related work, I am mainly focusing on the systematic and technology independent aspects of the creation of a whole-body, multi-modal artificial skin. My work can such be easily integrated into upcoming technologies - like printed organic semiconductors or traditional system-on-chips.
In order to verify my ideas I created Cellul.A.R.Skin, a multi-modal cellular artificial skin. With Cellul.A.R.Skin I can realize self- and enriching robot interactions through the sense of touch and other inputs. My final goal is to make robots more sensitive and human-like – preparing them for future tasks in a shared environment with us.
