About me
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the AASS Research Center, Örebro University, Sweden. My work focuses on robotics, navigation, motion planning, and the exciting domain of human-robot collaboration , or robot-robot collaboration particularly in industrial and academic settings.
I got my PhD in Robotics from University of Tartu, where I developed advanced algorithms for autonomous navigation in cluttered and dynamic environments.
