Vojtěch Vonásek presents Habilitation lecture and defense of the habilitation thesis
On 2026-06-10 - 2026-06-10 13:00:00 at Technická 2, Praha 6, místnost T2:D3-209
Topic: Sampling-based motion planning methods and their applications in
robotics and bioinformatics
The candidate will present the results of his long-term research in the field
of trajectory planning for autonomous systems, which finds application not only
in robotics but also in the analysis of biological structures and processes.
Ing. Vojtěch Vonásek, Ph.D. is one of the key figures in the Multi-Robot
Systems research group. He has long been engaged in the development of
algorithms for robot motion planning, the simulation of robotic systems, and
the applications of these methods in bioinformatics. He is the author or
co-author of numerous publications in prestigious international journals and
conferences, including IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, Journal of
Intelligent and Robotic Systems, ICRA, and IROS. His work has garnered more
than
two thousand citations and has also yielded the widely used CaverDock software
for analyzing ligand transport in protein structures.
In addition to his research activities, Vojtěch Vonásek is also significantly
involved in teaching. He is the course coordinator and instructor for
Algorithms and Programming, co-teaches Autonomous Robotics, and received the
Dean’s Award for Outstanding Teaching in 2024 for his pedagogical work. In
recent years, he has supervised dozens of bachelor’s and master’s theses,
six of which received the Dean’s Award.
The habilitation lecture and defense of the habilitation thesis are open to the
public.
