Simon Armleder

M.Sc. Simon Armleder is a PhD candidate and lecturer at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), affiliated with the Chair of Cognitive Systems under Prof. Gordon Cheng. His research focuses on autonomous systems, robot dynamics, optimal/adaptive control, humanoid robotics, and bio-inspired robotics. He holds a Master's in electrical engineering and information technology from TUM, with prior work in optical receivers for satellite systems at Airbus Defence and Space.

Education:

• Master of Science in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (TUM)
• Dual study program in Electrical Engineering with Airbus Defence and Space

Teaching:

• Lecturer for courses like "Multi-sensory Based Robot Dynamic Manipulation" and "Modelling and Control of Legged Robots"
• Supervised practical projects in robotics, including RoboCup@Home and Advanced RoboCup@Home

Research Trends:

His work emphasizes tactile-based manipulation, human-robot collaboration, and real-time adaptive control systems. Notable contributions include motion planning with diffusion models, tactile navigation in unstructured environments, and enhancing teleoperation agency through RNN-based visual guidance.

Labs/Teams:

Part of the Institute for Cognitive Systems (ICS), collaborating with researchers like Prof. Cheng, Dr. Emmanuel Dean-Leon, and teams developing humanoid robots and bio-inspired systems.
