Summary
Georgios Tziafas is a PhD candidate at the University of Groningen specializing in open-ended interactive robot learning, with nine years of experience bridging electrical and computer engineering, robotics, and AI. His research focuses on open-vocabulary perception and grasping, LLM-driven embodied reasoning and task planning, and learning manipulation policies from video to enable robots to learn quickly and robustly through interaction with non-expert users. He has taught graduate-level AI and deep learning courses and contributed to robot perception and navigation during a research internship at CERTH. Based in Groningen, he is particularly excited by humanoid manipulation and practical on-the-job learning challenges, combining strong academic training with hands-on systems integration experience.
