Projects

Research studies, software, and robotic systems for understanding and responding to robot failures.

Research studies

Software & robotic systems

Failure detection & recovery in simulation

Ongoing research · NVIDIA Isaac · Vision–language models

Developing a simulation-based framework that combines behaviour trees with vision–language model reasoning to detect robot failures and select recovery strategies.

ROSAnnotator

Research software · HRI 2025

A web application for annotating and analysing ROSBag data in human–robot interaction. I supervised the master's project behind its development.

OfficeMate

Office assistant robot · TIAGo / ROS · HRI 2025

A social office assistant combining conversation, person-following, autonomous navigation, and activities such as snack handovers and breathing exercises. A seven-participant office pilot explored its potential to support well-being, alongside concerns about privacy, noise, communication, and interaction timing.
