Benedikt Feldotto, M.Sc.

Curriculum Vitae

Benedikt Feldotto received a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechatronics from Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University (DHBW), also gaining industry work experience in the pre-development of automation and including a development stay in the USA. Based on his general engineering education he specialized in autonomous robotic systems implementing findings from Cognitive Neuroscience with the Master of Science program in "Robotics, Cognition, Intelligence" at Technical University of Munich (TUM). In 2017 Benedikt Feldotto joined the research group of Neurorobotics in the European Flagship project "Human Brain Project" (HBP). His research interests focus on biomimetic learning in neurorobotic systems and the interaction of robots with humans as well as the environment. Alongside his research focus he is a developer of the Neurorobotics Platform, a cloud based simulation platform for embodied learning experiments, and since 2017 lead developer of the NRP Robot Designer, a plugin for the 3D modelling suite Blender to build robotic and musculoskeletal simulation models. Additional discussions about ethical concerns arising with learning robots joining our daily life are very welcomed.
