====About me====
I am interested in teaching robots new everyday manipulation tasks based on their own prior experiences and demonstrations by humans in Virtual Reality. In the later, one can show robots new tasks my demonstrating them as a human, or by being a robot in VR. I enjoy working with real robots the most and have gathered some experience working with the PR2(Willow Garage), HSR(Toyota), Pepper(Aldebaran/Softbank), DonBot(IAI, UR5) and soon also the TIAGo (PAL Robotics).
