Teaching Assistant - Bioinspired Robotics, ITBA

Ramiro Plüss supports laboratory sessions, student project development, and office hour guidance in the Bioinspired Robotics course at ITBA.

Current course focus:

  • Building basic robotic agents, including three-wheeled platforms with distance and light sensors inspired by Braitenberg vehicles.
  • Implementing baseline rule-based control in code, then replacing fixed rules with simple neural-network controllers.
  • Developing sensorimotor interaction with the environment through adaptive control strategies.
  • Prototyping and implementing robotic models for applications across science, industry, and art.
