I am a robotics researcher focused on Physical AI, integrating learning-enabled robot capabilities into real-world inspection, automation, and assistive frameworks. I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of São Paulo (USP), working on the development of robotic frameworks and solutions for real-world problems, with an emphasis on manipulation and locomanipulation. My primary interests are in robotics, sensing, and learning, with the goal of developing robust systems for real-time control in real-world settings across industrial, medical, and daily-life applications.
Currently open to new collaborations. The best way to reach me is by email.
What I work on
- Manipulation and grasping
- Teleoperation and shared control
- Wearable sensing and EMG-based intent decoding
- Loco-manipulation on mobile and legged robots
- Vision-language models for robot autonomy
- Assistive and close-proximity human-robot interaction
