Tim Windecker

I'm a recent Master's graduate and ICRA author working at the intersection of Foundation Models and Robotics. My focus is on Vision-Language-Action (VLA) architectures and visual grounding, with the goal of advancing embodied AI.

I completed my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Informatics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). During my studies, I conducted my Master's thesis at ETH Zurich's Robotic Systems Lab (RSL) and spent two exchange semesters at the University of Skövde in Sweden. I also gained hands-on experience deploying and evaluating VLA systems at KIT's Intuitive Robots Lab (IRL), where I worked for almost 2 years.
