About:
I am a Phd student in the Humanoid Robots Lab headed by Maren Bennewitz at the University of Bonn. I received my master's degree in Automation and Robotics from the Technical University of Dortmund in 2015. I investigate active perception for mapping and manipulation in unstructured environments.
If you are currently being supervised by me for a thesis or lab project, you may book an appointment directly via:
https://cal.com/rohitmenon
All other students should not use the booking page directly.
Please first send me an email briefly explaining the reason for your appointment request. I will then arrange an appointment with you if needed.
