Peter Tisnikar

Hi, and welcome to my personal webpage. My name is Peter, and I am currently a PhD student in AI and Robotics at King’s College London, advised by Dr Matteo Leonetti and Dr Gerard Canal. I am interested in developing autonomous (embodied) agents that are capable of collaborating with diverse partners across multiple tasks. I study approaches to inference of collaborator’s capabilities, and mechanisms of adaptation based on reasoning about the information the agents acquire from observing what actions their partners perform in a shared task. I am also interested in enhancing agents’ understanding of human psychophysiological state based on multi-modal human data (e.g., eye gaze, sound, and posture), in order for the agent to use this information to adapt its behaviour and improve interaction quality.

I received my Master’s degree in Human and Biological Robotics from Imperial College London, where I worked on adaptive footstep planning algorithms for bipedal locomotion as part of the Robot Intelligence Lab. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Brunel University London.
