Dr. Marcell Missura
Member of research staff of the Humanoid Robots Lab
Bio:
Marcell Missura is a postdoc researcher and teaching assistant at the Humanoid Robots Lab of the University of Bonn in Germany. He obtained his PhD from the University of Bonn in computer science in 2016 for his work on bipedal walking with push recovery capabilities. Marcell has earned eight world champion titles and five times the Louis Vuitton Best Humanoid Award in the international RoboCup competitions. His research topics include motion planning in dynamic environments and robust bipedal walking for humanoid robots.
