About Todor Stoyanov

I am an Associate Professor in Computer Science. I am also a WASP-affiliated faculty.

My primary research interests lie in autonomy for mobile robots, with a focus on perception algorithms and motion synthesis for manipulation. I hold a PhD in Computer Science from Örebro University, defended in 2012, on the topic of autonomous robot navigation.
