 | Timothy Sandy tsandy (at) ethz (dot) ch |
Tim is a PhD student at the Agile and Dexterous Robotics Lab of ETH Zurich and is a member of the NCCR Digital Fabrication (www.dfab.ch). His research is focused on state estimation and learning control for mobile manipulation. His research supports the development of the robot IF, which is being designed to autonomously build complex structures directly on building construction sites. He received his bachelors degree with honors in mechanical engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, USA in 2008. He then worked in a technical leadership program with Eaton Corporation for three years, gaining experience in the aerospace, automotive, and commercial trucking industries. His research interests include mobile manipulation, sensor fusion, visual tracking, and robot model learning.
