Hi, I'm Hermann. I work as a PostDoc in the Computer Vision and Geometry Lab of ETH Zürich. For my PhD I was part of the Autonomous Systems Lab at ETH Zürich.
My research focuses on robotic perception. I strive to build robots that can understand their environment semantically and geometrically, in order to perform manipulation and other safety critical tasks in proximity to humans.
