4th Workshop on Long-term Human Motion Prediction
IEEE ICRA 2022 Conference, Philadelphia, USA
Human-centered, socially-aware robotics research
I am a senior scientist at TUM, working with Prof. Achim Lilienthal at the Chair of Perception for Intelligent Systems. I specialize in spatial Human-Robot Interaction, including human perception, motion prediction, predictive planning, and building multi-modal voice and gaze-supported interaction interfaces. This website contains up-to-date information about my research and background.
