Julius JANKOWSKI
I am a PhD candidate at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) and a researcher at the Idiap Research Institute, Robot Learning and Interaction Group. I am currently involved in the CODIMAN project.
My research interests include closed-loop object manipulation, model-based stochastic control, robust autonomy and learning from few demonstration data.
Short Biography
I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Mechatronics from Leibniz University Hannover in 2017, and a Master of Science in Robotics, Cognition, Intelligence from Technical University of Munich in 2020.
