About Laura

I am currently pursuing my PhD and working as a demonstrator at the University of Plymouth.
My research focuses on human motor control, with a particular interest in studying motor learning by implementing novel dynamics using the Vbot robot. Additionally, I am involved in the design and evaluation of robotic systems, specifically working on a specialized robotic gripper designed for agricultural applications. Furthermore, my research explores the complexities of control systems, with a special emphasis on the study of balance using systems like the inverted pendulum.
My professional contributions are dedicated to advancing knowledge in these critical areas through my role at the Motor Learning and Robotics Lab.
