Research Statement
Robot learning unites the two fields of machine learning and robotics. Research in robot learning should lead to results that improve autonomous robots and the way they perceive the world, but it may also give insights on how humans learn and operate. In my research I try to develop new learning algorithms that are based on observations of biological life forms.
