Technical Focus
My work focuses on giving robots the ability to interact safely and intelligently with their environment. I have experince in:
- Control Theory: Real-time safety filters (CBF-QP) and cascaded motor control.
- Manipulation: Motion planning in MoveIt and reactive controllers using Artificial Potential Fields.
- Embedded Systems: C firmware and deterministic control loops.
