My research interests are centered in the analysis and synthesis of challenging motor skills in complex robots. I am especially interested in robotic behaviors where fast motions and body coordination are required (e.g., robot locomotion and manipulation). My goal is to develop control strategies to allow robots to move as natural and efficiently as animals do.
