Matías Mattamala

I am a roboticist and currently a research associate in the Centre for AI in Assistive Autonomy, School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh.

🤖 I aim to make robots that help us understand and solve problems of the real world. To achieve this, my research focuses on the foundations and systems for lifelong autonomy: representations and algorithms for perception, learning, and action that enable autonomous and adaptive behaviour in robots working with humans or alone in the wild. ✨ Latest News: May 2026: I’ll be in ICRA 2026. I’m co-organising the ‘Act to Sense to Act Better’ workshop, I’ll be presenting my TFR paper on legged robots for forestry (previous work with Oxford), and my colleague Salvatore Esposito will be presenting the ROOM simulator. See you in Vienna!
