Dr Fumiya Lida

About

I received his bachelor and master degrees in mechanical engineering at Tokyo University of Science (Japan, 1999), and Dr. sc. nat. in Informatics at University of Zurich (2006). In 2004 and 2005. Iwas also engaged in biomechanics research of human locomotion at Locomotion Laboratory, University of Jena (Germany). From 2006 to 2009, worked as a postdoctoral associate at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology in USA. In 2006, awarded the Fellowship for Prospective Researchers from the Swiss National Science Foundation, and in 2009, appointed as a Swiss National Science Foundation Professor for bio-inspired robotics at ETH Zurich. My research interests include biologically inspired robotics, embodied artificial intelligence, and biomechanics, and I've been involved in a number of research projects related to dynamic legged locomotion, navigation of autonomous robots, and human-machine interactions.
