Berk Gueler

Berk Gueler is a researcher at the Intelligent Autonomous Systems lab within the Technical University of Darmstadt, collaborating with the Honda Research Institute. His work bridges robotics, human-robot interaction, and machine learning.

• M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering (2023) from Koç University
• B.Sc. in Control and Automation Engineering (2020) from Istanbul Technical University

His research focuses on assisted teleoperation and physical human-robot interaction, particularly for tasks like knot untangling, collaborative drilling, and co-manipulation. He develops adaptive control systems and deep learning models to enhance robot autonomy and human-robot collaboration.

The 2025 publications highlight his work on grasp prediction and knot untangling using sampling-based algorithms and human-in-the-loop control. Earlier work (2022-2023) laid the foundation with adaptive admittance controllers and deep reinforcement learning for pHRI.

• Supervised students on Control Barrier Functions and deformable object tracking
• Technical expertise in C++, Python, KUKA FRI, ROS, and Mixed Reality (MRTK)
