About
Angel Villar-Corrales is a leading researcher in robotics and computer vision, with a focus on humanoid locomotion, visual perception, and autonomous decision-making. His most notable contribution is as a core member of the NimbRo team, which won the RoboCup 2023 Humanoid AdultSize competition. In the team’s landmark paper, “RoboCup 2023 Humanoid AdultSize Winner NimbRo: NimbRoNet3 Visual Perception and Responsive Gait with Waveform In-Walk Kicks,” Villar-Corrales helped pioneer NimbRoNet3, a deep learning-based visual perception system that enables real-time object detection and field localization. He also contributed to the development of a responsive gait controller featuring waveform in-walk kicks, allowing the robot to dynamically adjust its movements and execute precise ball kicks during fast-paced matches. This work has garnered early citations and is shaping the next generation of agile, perceptive humanoid robots. Villar-Corrales’s research bridges perception and control, advancing the frontier of autonomous robotics in dynamic, real-world environments. His achievements in competitive robotics demonstrate both technical rigor and practical impact, inspiring students and researchers in embodied AI.
