I began my journey in the field of robotics eight years ago, during my engineering studies and Master’s degree program at the University of Chile, Santiago, Chile. My passion for robotics was sparked during my involvement with a student robotics team, where we competed in the RoboCup Standard Platform League, a global robot soccer competition.
This formative experience not only introduced me to the intricate world of robotics but also ignited my curiosity in developing solutions for real-world systems. Following my graduation, I pursued further specialization in robotics with a Ph.D. at the Department of Cognitive Robotics at the Delft University of Technology, under the supervision of Jens Kober. Here, my research focused on advancing robotic imitation learning techniques, addressing existing limitations that hinder their real-world application, particularly through interactive learning and inductive bias. As I approach the defense of my Ph.D. dissertation, anticipated before summer 2024, I have already transitioned to a PostDoc position in the same department, working alongside Cosimo Della Santina. In my current research, I am exploring techniques for introducing inductive bias in imitation learning for high-level decision making.
