Ayberk Özgür, Ph.D.
I am a robotics engineer; I designed and built the novel Cellulo platform in my Ph.D. in the Computer-Human Interaction in Learning and Instruction Laboratory (CHILI) at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). You can find my Ph.D. thesis here.
Cellulo is a tangible swarm robot platform that opens a new perspective on human learning through unique technologies that it brings together. Check out this video to get a better idea of what they are capable of, and the project homepage for more information such as publications and news coverage.
I did my B.Sc. in the Computer Engineering Department (CMPE) at Bogazici University where I designed and built a low-cost manipulator and a primitive based manipulation planner for cluttered environments as my thesis, which you can find here.
My research interests include but are not limited to:
-
Robot vision
-
Modular robots
-
Reconfigurable robots
-
Paper assisted robots
-
Mobile robots
-
Human-robot interaction
-
Tangible interfaces
-
Robotic manipulators
-
Machine learning and its applications to robotics
