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: Jul 2026: Our review paper ‘‘Advances, challenges, and opportunities for legged robots’’ in collaboration with Jonas Frey, Hae-Won Park, Mayank Mittal, Georg Martius, Maike Osborne, Robert Sparrow, and Marco Hutter has been published in Science Robotics
