Our lab works towards the next generation of mobile robots that should support us in our lives: drones can inspect and monitor hazardous or remote sites, and humanoids or other ground-based robots can perform repetitive, strenuous, or dangerous tasks on construction sites or at home. We develop underlying Spatial AI capabilities as robots' understanding of the world. This is crucial for Navigation in potentially cluttered, dynamic, and unknown environments. Furthermore, we research complex tasks that include Mobile Manipulation whereby empoloying various forms of Robot Learning: from demonstrations and by the robot itself. We are also interested in novel robot concepts, e.g. Aerial Robots.
