is Head of the Learning Systems and Robotics Lab at TU Munich.
Her research is motivated by the vision of a seamless interaction of robotic systems with the physical world. In particular, her research interests are centred around the challenges associated with robots operating in increasingly unstructured, uncertain and changing environments, and over long periods of time. These situations challenge current robot designs, which rely on knowing the specifics of the environment and task ahead of time in order to operate safely and efficiently.
