Patrick Heinsch
Philipps-University Marburg, Germany
My name is Patrick Heinsch and I am a senior research assistant in the project "RoboPraX" at the Philipps-University Marburg. Within the project I am responsible for the creation of MOOCs, the maintenance of our humanoid robots (Pepper and NAO) as well as for the development of applications. I received my Master's degree in "Linguistics and Web Development" and wrote my thesis about "Humanoid Robots in the financial sector". Afterwards I worked in the project H.E.A.R.T. (2016-2019) - Humanoid Emotional Assistant Robots in Teaching -, also at the Philipps-University Marburg, which explored new ways of teaching and learning in higher education by using "Pepper" as assistant. Additionally, I gained practical insights of teaching and learning during my work as language teacher in Brazil.
