Humanoid robotics · health technology
Humanoid health scanning
In collaboration with a startup, I explored how a humanoid platform could support health-scanning workflows. I programmed the Unitree G1 humanoid, including locomotion, behaviour control with speech, and integration of the forward-facing camera. The result was a successful proof of concept with a dashboard for controlling the robot, triggering a health scan, and communicating the results verbally to the user. The client only needed to provide the API endpoint used by the camera stream to call its existing health-analysis software stack.

Quadruped robotics · sensor integration
Custom sensor integration on a quadruped robot (PhD)
During my PhD, I equipped the Unitree Go1 with custom tactile sensor feet. Tactile sensing remains underused in robotics because of limited standardization and robustness. I investigated techniques for embedding barometric pressure sensors in a soft elastomer. These tactile-aware feet enabled the legged robot to sense the terrain and improve its locomotion.
