In August 2013, I started my Master's thesis in whole body motion control in cooperation with PAL Robotics in Barcelona and was supervised by Dr. Jürgen Sturm. My work integrates the Stack-of-Tasks (SOT) software framework for inverse kinematics into ROS controlled humanoid robots. The main focus hereby lies on external as well as self-collision avoidance in a hierarchical manner to enable a safe and non-conflicting operation of the robot. Since July 2014, I am working at Aldebaran in the perception team.
