CV

 

Tadej Petrič attended the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Maribor, Slovenia, where he obtained the B.Sc degree in Electrical Engineering in 2008. His B.Sc. covered modeling and robotic control of underactuated dynamic system. For his work, he received the prof. dr. Vratislav Bedjanič award in 2008.

 

In 2013 he received the Ph.D. degree in robotics from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the University of Ljubljana. He performed a part of his doctoral research at the Department of Robotic Systems for Dynamic Control of Legged Humanoid Robots at German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Germany. 

 

He is currently a Postdoctoral Assistant with the Department of Automatics, Biocybernetics, and Robotics, at the Jožef Stefan Institute.

 

His research interests include human-like robotic movement and mostly control of dynamical systems. Videos showing results in robotic research are collected in a youtube channel!
