About the researchers
Salua Hamaza is Assistant Professor in Aerial Robotics & Director of the BioMorphic Intelligence Lab at TU Delft, Netherlands. Her research focuses on the development of compliant aerial robots capable of interacting physically with objects and the environment. Her robotic solutions take inspiration from biological systems, leveraging compliance in hardware and software to advance versatility and autonomy in interacting drones.
Yasemin Vardar is an Assistant Professor in the Cognitive Robotics Department at the Delft University of Technology, where she leads the Haptic Interface Technology Group (HITLab). Her research focuses on leveraging our knowledge of the human sense of touch to create natural, compelling, and personalized haptic interactions in virtual environments, which can be utilized in communication, medicine, education, and human-robot interaction applications.
