Alumni
Markus Giftthaler was a PhD student at the NCCR Digital Fabrication and the previous Agile & Dexterous Robotics Lab from 2014 to 2018. In his PhD, he focused on Numerical Optimal Control for complex articulated robots with the application context robotic fabrication on building construction sites. He is one of the developers of the In situ Fabricator, a mobile construction robot employed for various building projects. Since 2018, he has been a Research Scientist at Bosch, working on optimal and learning control for industrial assembly tasks.
