Dr.-Ing. Előd Páll

Előd works at Interactive Scape GmbH in the Lerosh research project as a Lead Robotics Engineer R&D. He obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science at the Robotics and Biology Laboratory in 2023, focusing on manipulation and grasp planning for soft robots. His research concentrated on simplifying motion generation by leveraging deliberate contact between a robot and its environment. He started his career as a research engineer at the ROCON research group in the optimistic optimization and robot control field. He finished the Advanced Manufacturing Control M.Sc. program in 2014 at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca and his B.Sc. in Control Engineering - Automation at the same university.

Personal view:

I want to share and exchange practical observations from my research. I value collaboration in developing and validating new ideas. So, feel free to contact me about my research and mini-projects.

My research projects:

Use-case application of Environmental Constraint Exploitation for robotic surface treatment
Motion Generation With Contact-Based Environmental Constraints (Thesis link)
Human-like grasping from piles leveraging granular Environmental Constraints
Reactive motion planning with contact events
Assistive robotics with POMDP online solver
Inverted rotary pendulum controlled with an optimistic planning algorithm
Vision-based autonomous navigation for railway inspection with a UAV
Quadrotor: sensor noises and system identification
Melfa RV-2AJ
Five-bar mechanism

EC-Based Surface Treatment Much like robotic grasping, robotic sanding can be effectively approached as a motion generation problem using environmental constraint exploitation (ECE) principles. This approach leverages task-specific knowledge and geometrical structure as constraints to streamline the motion planning and
