Dynamic enhancement of SEA by combination with direct drive actuators

I had the opportunity to spend 6 months at ETH Zürich thanks to the grant that NCCR awarded me. Among the positive learning that I had, I acquired knowledge in new fields that strength my experience in research on robotics. Additionally, I had the opportunity to co-advise a master thesis student, experience that I found to be enriching and fruitful. In 2017, I started a PhD at EPFL in a lab that is part of NCCR Robotics.
