Hello, I’m Joel Baptista, a PhD student at the University of Aveiro, deeply immersed in the fascinating realm of robotic control. My current research focuses on pioneering data-driven methodologies that push the boundaries of what’s possible in robotics. Specifically, I’m delving into the realms of Reinforcement Learning, Meta Learning, and Causal Learning, seeking to unravel the synergies between them. The ultimate goal? To engineer a control system capable of unprecedented generalization across diverse robotic settings and tasks.

My journey into the world of robotics began in human-robot interaction, where I explored the integration of Deep Learning to facilitate communication through gestures and physical touch.

I invite you to join me on this exhilarating journey through my blog. Whether you’re curious about the latest advancements in robotic control or interested in potential collaboration opportunities, don’t hesitate to reach out. Your feedback and inquiries are always welcome!
