Hi, I’m Rico

Of all the wonderous things that surround us, I am most fascinated by intelligence. What is it and—maybe more importantly—how does it work? I believe that the most promising approach to answer these questions is artificial intelligence (AI): building and studying artificial systems that exhibit aspects of intelligence. For this quest to AI, robotics is paramount as it defines the problem space and explores solutions for intelligent behavior in the real world. Machine learning is equally important as it strives for generality, replacing human problem solving with automatic learning from data. In my reserach, I integrate ideas from both fields in order to better understand intelligence.
