My Research

My goal is to change the way robots are designed. Biological systems are powerful learning machines that do not need to be programmed to execute a task. They learn how to perform it.

To allow robots to learn similarly to the way biological systems do, one needs to combine the design of multi-system, biologically-inspired neural models, high-density, low-power neuromorphic hardware, and robots capable of interacting and learning in real time in complex natural environments.
