Katharina Muelling
I am a Project Scientist at the National Robotic Engineering (NREC) Center of Carnegie Mellon University, working with Drew Bagnell. My research revolves around creating (semi-) autonomous robot manipulation. I am particularly interested in algorithms that enable robots to perform complex motor tasks by interacting with and learning from humans. My research interests include manipulation, planning, robot learning architectures, machine learning, human-robot interaction, motor control and intelligent autonomous prosthetics.
Before I joined NREC, I did my Ph.D. studies at the Max-Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in the departments
of Bernhard Schoelkopf and Stefan Schaal under the supervision of Jan Peters. My thesis focused on motor control and learning in complex motor
tasks such as table tennis.
