Tim Welschehol is a research group leader in the Robot Learning Lab at the university of Freiburg. He is a member of the Department of Computer Science and the BrainLinks-BrainTools center.
He received his PhD in Robotics working with Prof. Wolfram Burgard at the Autonomous Intelligent Systems group in 2020. After his PhD, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher (2020-2022) and subsequently as commissary lead (2022-2023) of the Autonomous Intelligent Systems group.
His research work is in the field of robot learning with focus on mobile manipulation and long horizon reasoning. The overarching goal of his research is to enable robots to autonomously learn, reason and act in human centered environments. His most acknowledged work, which was awarded with the Ewald Marquardt Zukunftspreis 2023 and a best paper award, is “Learning Navigation for Arbitrary Mobile Manipulation Motions in Unseen and Dynamic Environments”.
