I am a PhD student since September 2008.
Research
I am doing research on force controlled assembly using robots with redundant degrees of freedom as part of the ROSETTA project.
Ball-catching Robot
Starting as my master thesis project I have developed a robot system that catches balls and darts that are thrown toward it. You can see a video here.

Old Projects
Here are links to YouTube videos of some projects I made before my PhD studies.
A printer made of Lego from 2003.
An inverted pendulum made of an old ink jet printer from 2006. In cooperation with Kristian Soltesz.
