Research interests
My team and I have been working on research topics of humanoid robotics including perception, action and cognition components towards the implementation of high-performance 24/7 humanoids which are able to perceive and understand in order to act and interact in the real world and perform a wide variety of tasks. The major topics of the group are:
  • Humanoid Robotics: Design, control and system integration
  • Humanoid Grasping and Manipualtion
  • Imitation Learning
  • Visuo-haptic exploration
  • Robot Vision and Active Vision
  • Modeling and Analysis of the Human Body and Human Motion
  • Mechatronics and Control Systems
For more details see Humanoids Group at KIT.

An overview on current research activities can be found also on the CD "Humanoids@KIT, which was presented on the Colloquium Humanoids@Home on the occasion of the 60th birthday of Prof. Rüdiger Dillmann.

The research on humanoid robotics in Karlsruhe within the Collaborative Research Center on Humanoid Robots (SFB 588) was featured d on DFG Science TV. Have a look at the humanoid robot ARMAR-III !!!
