dr.ir. M. Vlutters (Mark)

I obtained BSc, MSc, and PhD degrees in Biomedical / Biomechanical Engineering at the University of Twente (all cum laude), in the topic of human balance control. After obtaining my PhD degree I left academia for several years to work at a start-up company in computer vision and motion tracking.

My current position has a focus on robot learning, in particular robot programming by demonstration. The aim of this paradigm is to have a robot learn to perform assistive tasks by observing a demonstration performed by a human. Rather than depending on large amounts of data, we aim to generalize to task variations based on as little data as possible by identifying structure in the demonstrated tasks. Also see our lab website.

I also have a passion for education. I am a Comenius Teaching Fellow for introducing Agile principles in thesis project guidance.
