Zackory Erickskon

I am looking for 3 PhD students to join our research group in Fall 2024. If you are a recently admitted CMU PhD student, please email me! zackory@cmu.edu

I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor in The Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, where I lead the Robotic Caregiving and Human Interaction (RCHI) Lab. My research focuses on developing new robot learning, mobile manipulation, and sensing methods, with applications in physical human-robot interaction and healthcare.

Previously, I received my PhD in Robotics at Georgia Tech advised by Charlie Kemp.
