2025 was an amazing year for our group. We tripled in size, in terms of group members, and in projects. We started work on new topics, such as building energy management via learning control (collaboration with the Swiss industry), and dynamic manufacturing scheduling approaches (Horizon EU project). We have further developed the Learning Robotics Lab with several new systems: Winding robot, AGV, and a couple of collaborative robots for manufacturing applications, also focused on deformable object manipulation. Several publications came out (non-exaustive list):…

What an year that was. The group grew with two more people (although they will join in a few weeks), we published several cool publications in top venues (such as NeurIPS and Engineering Applications of AI for AI, and in IEEE TCST and IEEE TASE for control and learning). I actively joined the second phase of NCCR Automation, with one PhD project, one postdoc project, and one industry collaboration.
