Julen joined the Intelligent Autonomous Systems Group at TU Darmstadt as a Ph.D. researcher in January 2019. Julen received his MS in Automatic Control and Robotics From UPC (Barcelona) in November 2017. Julen has gained a lot of knowledge in machine learning and robotics from different institutions. He developed his master thesis in BioRob lab in EPFL(Laussane) under the supervision of Auke Ijspeert and Jessica Lanini, He did an internship in the first edition of Deep Learning and Robotics Challenge (DLRC) in VW Data:Lab (Munich) and for the last year from December 2017 to December 2018 He has worked as a robotics researcher in IK4-Tekniker (Eibar).
My main research line is in the integration of machine learning algorithms to learn complex manipulation skills. During the Ph.D., I am looking for new ways of representing the environment and policies, following probabilistic models. It is expected that better models for representing them will improve the prediction, classification, and generation of motion applied in several fields from Imitation Learning to Human-Robot Interaction. In my thesis, I study the integration of Generative Modelling methods, Energy Based Models (EBM), Normalizing Flows with Robotics theory (Stability, Riemannian Geometry, Safety) to integrate in a smart way generative modelling methods into robotics and learn complex manipulation tasks.
