Short Bio
Tomislav Horvat got his MSc in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from University of Zagreb, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (FER). During his studies he focused on topics in Control, Robotics, Embedded Systems and Machine Learning.
In 2012 he did an internship at CERN (Geneva), where he worked on testing the stability of the low level radiofrequency feedback loop of the LHC.
He joined the Biorobotics Laboratory at EPFL in September 2013 and is working on sprawling posture quadruped robots with an actuated spine. As a part of NCCR Rescue Robotics Grand Challenge, his main research is to explore the application and control of a highly redundant robots with multimodal locomotion capabilities (walking, swimming, crawling).
