Jonas Fischer

I am currently a doctoral candidate at SPARC with a research focus on robotic systems for endovascular interventions.

I received my bachelor’s degree in mechatronics at the FAU. During my undergraduate studies, I was introduced to automation, robotics, and mechatronic systems. In addition to my studies, I worked for Siemens Healthineers, where I gained skills in data analyses. Moreover, I had the opportunity to publish two papers with a focus on vibrational feedback for robotic hands and surgical robotics during my time as a student assistant at the Chair of Autonomous Systems and Mechatronic at FAU.
In my master thesis I researched bio-signals to intuitively control a robotic arm, focusing on shared autonomy between human and machine in tasks like grasping and manipulation at the AIROB Lab, in collaboration with the German Aerospace Center (DLR).

Research interests:

• Medical robots for endovascular interventions
• Human-machine interfaces
• Shared Autonomy for human-machine interaction
