I'm excited to share my first project since starting my PhD! Leading a team to participate in this challenge was the best way for me to quickly get up to speed with using the ANYmal robot, and for me to understand the current capabilities and challenges for teleoperation!
The Robotic Systems Lab won third place in the Advanced Industrial Robotic Applications (AIRA) Challenge, demonstrating our leader-follower teleoperation system for industrial inspection tasks.

I started my PhD at the ETH Zürich Robotic Systems Lab! I'm super thrilled to be joining the lab that has produced many of my favorite works in the field :)
チューリッヒ工科大学で博士課程始めました!ずっと憧れだったラボなので、精一杯自分のやりたい研究ができるように頑張ります!
I'll be at
#ICRA2023
next week, presenting my poster on Wed May 31st 9:00-10:40, PODS 16-18!
I look forward to meeting many people at my first international robotics conference, so please reach out to me if you'd like to meet up!
I'm very excited that our work got accepted to
#ICRA2023
! I look forward to attending my first in-person international robotics conference in London :)
We teach a Solo8 quadruped to walk as a biped (and more), using trajectory optimization + RL imitation.

As of last week, I'm an intern at
@omron_sinicx
in Tokyo! I'm really excited to be back in Japan doing robotics research!
先週からOMRON SINIC Xでインターンとして働かせていただいてます!!日本にいる期間、たくさんの日本のロボット研究者と繋がりたいです!

was such a blast!! It was my first international robotics conference, so it was so much fun seeing old and new friends, interesting presentations, and of course lots and lots of cool robots :)

In this paper that I wrote during my internship at
@omron_sinicx
, we propose a method for estimating torque from tactile sensors using analytical techniques that I learned during my undergrad in Engineering Physics!

next week. See you in Yokohama!

I had a great time seeing 4 huge exhibition halls worth of robot demos at iREX! Only in Tokyo do you learn about a huge robotics conference happening in your city a few days in advance, and you can immediately find fellow robot nerds to go with you on a Saturday 😄
[English] I wrote a Japanese blog post describing one of my favourite papers in the field of RL quadruped robotics, while also interleaving my own experiences in the field. The blog is in Japanese, but I'm happy to discuss the contents with my English friends at any time :)
I'm very excited to share our super simple system for teaching robots complex tasks using existing controllers ◡̈ Building on our prior work, we've taught the A1 challenging skills like bipedal walking. We hope this general recipe simplifies training for all kinds of robots!
I arrived in J Village, Fukushima, to attend the IEEE International Symposium on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics 2023 starting tomorrow! I'm really looking forward to the upcoming presentations and facility tours! For now I've been enjoying the local sake and seafood :)
I am incredibly excited to start my research career with such a fun project! Huge thank you to
@zhaomingxie
and
@Mvandepanne
for their kind, effective, and attentive mentorship and contributions throughout all stages of the project!

I attended a public demo of construction robot multi-agent control at the Public Works Research Institute in Tsukuba, Japan! It was cool to see standard construction machinery retrofitted to become robots, and I also learned that I really love seeing big robots move 🤣
Thank you UTokyo Matsuo Lab TRAIL for inviting me to give my first ever talk in Japan! I hope to stay in touch with all of the students, faculty members, and industrial researchers that I had the pleasure of meeting in the social event afterwards!
I gave the same presentation several times in the past, but this time I received the most interesting and difficult questions :) I'm in Japan until I move to Switzerland in January, so I hope to visit many more labs in Japan during my time here!
