In April 2021, Anastasia Bolotnikova has joined the CIS collaboration grant on Assistive Distributed Robotics. The focus of the project is on development and integration of the robotics solution into an Intelligent Assistive Environment, in collaboration with Professor Jamie Paik (RRL) and Professor Auke Ijspeert (BioRob).

Anastasia has received her M.Sc diploma in Computer Science from University of Tartu, Estonia, in 2017. She has received her Ph.D. diploma in Robotics from the University of Montpellier, France, in March of 2021. During her Ph.D studies she was working as a robotics researcher at SoftBank Robotics Europe (Paris). The focus of her doctoral research was on the use of humanoid robot technology for assistance to frail or elderly.

Her research interests include robot control, motion planning, human-robot interaction and the application of robotics technologies in the context of assistance for people with special needs.
