João Silvério

Postdoctoral Researcher @ Italian Institute of Technology
Advanced Robotics Dept., Robot Learning and Interaction Group

Since June 2017, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Robot Learning and Interaction Group at IIT. Between January 2014 and April 2017 I was a PhD student with the same group, under the supervision of Dr. Sylvain Calinon and Prof. Darwin Caldwell.

My research focuses on bimanual skill transfer, in particular the extraction of coordination patterns and priority constraints from demonstrations. I am also interested in physical human-robot interaction.
