Hi. I'm Naresh Marturi.

I am a senior research scientist in robotics and Deputy Director of the Extreme Robotics Laboratory (ERL) at the University of Birmingham, UK. I'm also the principal investigator of the CoPe (Control & Perception) team.

Open positions will appear here... Interested self-funded PhDs and Interns can contact me.
