Will Thibault
Humanoid Robotics Researcher
I am humanoid robotics researcher and PhD student at the University of Waterloo. I am a member of the CERC in HCRMI (Canada Excellence Research Chair in Human-Centred Robotics and Machine Intelligence) lab under the co-supervision of Katja Mombaur and William Melek. My research focuses on humanoid whole-body motion generation and control using combined model-based and model-free approaches with REEM-C and TALOS humanoid robots by PAL Robotics.
My goal is to have a career in humanoid robotics research in the area of whole-body motion and loco-manipulation. Humanoid robots offer the unique ability to operate in human designed spaces and I hope to use them to solve real-world problems.
