Manuel Baum is a cognitive informatics researcher and roboticist with an interest in task-directed exploration, interactive perception, intelligent systems, and biological manipulation.
He joined SCIoI as a doctoral researcher in January 2020, under the supervision of Prof. Oliver Brock.
At SCIoI, he studied how robots and animals gather the information they need to solve complex physical tasks. His work compared how cockatoos and robots explore and solve mechanical puzzles. His doctoral thesis investigates how robust manipulation emerges in both robotic and biological systems.
