Auke Jan Ijspeert (born 1971 in Geneva) is a Switzerland Dutch Robotics and neuroscientist. He is a professor of Biological engineering at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, and the head of the Biorobotics Laboratory at the School of Engineering.

Career

He has studied physics at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and earned a Master's degree in 1995. He joined John Hallam and David Willshaw at the University of Edinburgh as a doctoral student, and in 1999 graduated with a PhD in artificial intelligence on "Design of artificial neural oscillatory circuits for the control of lamprey- and salamander-like locomotion using evolutionary algorithms".[1][2] He worked as a postdoctoral researcher with Michael A. Arbib and Stefan Schaal at University of Southern California (USC),[3][4] and then with Jean-Daniel Nicoud at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and with Luca Maria Gambardella at the Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence Research (IDSIA).[5]

In 2001, he became a research assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Southern California, and an external collaborator at Kansai Science City(Advanced Telecommunications Research institute) in Japan.[6] From 2003 to 2017, he was an adjunct faculty Department of Computer Science of the University of Southern California. In 2002, he received Swiss National Science Foundation assistant professorship at the School of Computer and Communication Sciences of École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. In 2009, he was named associate professor at EPFL's School of Engineering, and in 2016 he was promoted as full professor.

Research

The Ijspeert group's Transdisciplinarity research is situated at the intersection of robotics, computational neuroscience, nonlinear dynamical systems, and Machine learning.[7] Employing numerical simulations and Robot, they aim at a better understanding of animal locomotion and movement control, and by taking inspiration in nature, they design new types of robots and locomotion controllers.[8][9] Their research was also featured in public presentation such as TED (conference).minds.[10][11]

Their research is focused on computational aspects of locomotion control, sensorimotor coordination, and learning in animals and in robots. Furthermore, their research focuses also on rehabilitation robotics, such as Exoskeleton, and in locomotion restoration. Their interests extent to research projects in the areas such as neuromechanical simulations of locomotion and movement control;[12] systems of coupled nonlinear oscillators for locomotion control;[13][14] design and control of amphibious,[15] legged,[16] and reconfigurable robots;[17] and, control of humanoid robots,[18] exoskeletons.[19][20][21][22]

Distinctions

Ijspeert is an IEEE Fellow.[23] He is a member of the board of reviewing editors of Science Magazine, and for the International Journal of Humanoid Robotics.[24] He has been an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Robotics (2009-2013) and a guest editor for the Proceedings of IEEE, IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, Autonomous Robots, IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine, and Biological Cybernetics. He is a recipient of the Young Professorship Award (2002), the Young Researcher Scholarship (1999), and the Young Researcher Scholarship all awarded from the Swiss National Science Foundation (1995).[25] He also received the Marie Curie Scholarship from the European Commission (1997).[26]
