Thiago Boaventura
Thiago is currently an Assistant Professor at the Mechanical Engineering Department of the São Carlos Engineering School of the University of São Paulo. He has a strong background in model-based force and impedance control, as well as in hydraulic actuation. His research interests concern mainly the control of the robot's interaction with humans and the environment around it. Thiago Boaventura received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Mechatronic Engineering from the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil, in 2009. He received his Ph.D. degree in Robotics from a partnership between the Italian Institute of Technology and the University of Genoa, Italy, in 2013. Then, he joined as a post-doctoral researcher in the Agile & Dexterous Robotics Lab, at ETH Zurich, Switzerland. There, he was mainly involved in the EU FP7 BALANCE project with a focus on the collaborative impedance control of exoskeletons robots.
Fares Abu-dakka is a senior researcher at Intelligent Robotics Group, Department of Electrical Engineering and Automation of Aalto University, Finland. His research lies in combining robot learning and control with Riemannian geometry in order to enhance robot manipulation performance and safety.
Matteo Saveriano is an assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science and at the Digital Science Center of the University of Innsbruck. His research is at the intersection between learning and control and attempts to integrate cognitive robots into smart factories and social environments through the embodiment of AI solutions, inspired by human behavior, into robotic devices.
Meghan E. Huber is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA, and leads the new Human Robot Systems Laboratory (HRSL). Her research aims to advance how humans and robots learn from one another through physical interaction. Prior to joining UMass Amherst, she was a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 2016-2020. She received her B.S. degree in Biomedical Engineering from Rutgers University in 2009, M.S. degree in Biomedical Engineering from The University of Texas at Dallas in 2011, and Ph.D. in Bioengineering from Northeastern University in 2016. During her doctoral training, she was also a Visiting Junior Scientist in the Autonomous Motion Department at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen, Germany in 2014.
