In tactile sensing research, I want to understand the working principle of “dark sense” or “muscular sense”, introduced by the physiologist Ivan Sechenov  in the 1860s.

Working with me:

If you want to come and work with me, I expect you to learn SolidWorks for CAD, AltiumDesigner for PCB,   Linux, IDEs  (KDevelop and QTcreator ), or for advanced developers text-based editors (such as Vim or Emacs), Blender, version control systems (e.g., git), LaTex.

I can offer  opportunities for potential PhD and MS students  to get into the the EU robotics community.  My supervisors were PhD holders from all around the World, including Vadim Nikolayevich MISHIN (Tomsk, Russia) – the strongest emotional competence I ever met, Yoshihiro KONISHI-san (Japan and Taiwan) – the toughest person in discipline I ever met, Veronique PERDEREAU (France) – the most wise and  diplomat I ever met. I can not be a “supervisor” for the young generation but still, I am pretending to be a “more experienced coach”. I force students always to have their own opinion and view to the problem. My rule of thumb for a  student is to learn by yourself (it builds neurons that will help in the future life to solve new problems without a supervisor).  I do realize that such approach requires strong nerves to keep working — for which I do not regret nor apologize.

Student internships and master theses:

I welcome PhD and Master students, and I’m especially interested in robotics-CS students (Linux, C, CAD, PCB, Mechatronics). I will stimulate them to contribute to Tactile Robotics projects
