Work Topic

Martin Wermelinger is focusing on manipula­tion and autonomous assembly of irregular objects with uncertainty in pose and shape. He develops novel methods to detect, limit and control the contact forces of objects and to shape the interaction dynamics, by exploiting sensitive and compliant robotic systems.
